Don’t know about the cost but our vet was an old country boy and all he charged us for after the initial treatment was the week of kennel time. it was less than $200.

4 days in the vet for my old Airedale 10 years ago.was $1,400. He was bitten in two places by black widow spiders. He was one sick puppy.

Just before he died earlier this year I spent $1,400 for 1 night at a specialistand a needle biopsy. They were looking for cancer. They didn’t find any. They just found an infection in his lung. He died two days later probably from a clot. He was at home with us. That $1,400 was without oxygen and any lfe saving care. It did include anesthsia to do the biopsy. If I wanted to leave him there it was $700 per day for basic critical care. This was a referral vet where other gets refer cases they can’t solve or require specialized treatment. I spent close to $2,500 in total in the 3 weeks before he died. That’s the price of living in Low Angeles.
