$1725 for a dental! - what do you pay? - Page 2

I recently got an estimate for Sally's dental work here in the far western suburbs of Chicago. About $400 for basic cleaning and up to about $600 if extractions are needed. This does not include any preliminary lab work or post-operative meds (antibiotics, pain, etc.).
Right now, we're waiting for the methimazole to bring down her hyperthyroidism so that there's less risk with anesthesia.
A lot of money for a 15-year-old cat.

WOW..........Some of these teeth prices are very scary. I paid $250 for 8 teeth pulled and cleaned for a rescued cat that I took in last July. The bill was $450.00 before my vet gave me a break do to an unemployment discount. I thought that was high in price at the time ........My god............you ladies make me sound like I got a discount....... NO BLOOD WORK was performed on Simon

Cleo recovered from her dental amazingly well. Hard to believe she's 15! I kept her in my spare bedroom that first night, just so she had peace and quiet and I could monitor her better. She ate a good bit of canned food about 2 hours after I got her home. And she's eaten really well ever since. the Vet told me to keep her off of dry food for 2 weeks but with 4 other cats and (2 of those who prefer dry to canned), that wasn't possible. She was eating dry the next day. I figured if it bothered her she'd avoid it. I've never had a cat who had that many extractions (6), the most was 3. She's recovered the quickest and she's been the oldest of those ones. Amazing too that her bloodwork was so great.........everything within normal limits, everything. Even kidney function (BUN and creat). We're pretty lucky.

I am glad to hear how good she is doing! May for a fast recovery, even though it sounds like she doesn't need it, lol.
