Amputating a portion of an adult dog's tail - cost? General Dog Discussions
I may need to have the tip of my Labrador's tail amputated. He just had surgery on it, and it is not healing like it should - it's only gotten worse. It's now infected (despite antibiotics and keeping it very clean), swollen, puss filled, and just looks like it could fall off. I'm going into the vet tonight, I'll see what they say - but at the rate he slams his tail into things.. I think it's best that we just get the 3 inches amputated rather than prolong his suffering. Any idea how much this would cost on a 90lb adult Labrador? I'm trying to think of the cost for anesthetic and the surgery itself.. I just want to be prepared if that's what happens.
