What is the typical cost for dermoid eye surgery on a puppy's eye?

Hi there! This condition, called entropion, is easily surgically correctable. Depending on your surgeon's skill level and where you are located, surgical costs can vary from roughly 200.00-1,200. Most doctors will want to see your pet for a regular exam first and can give you an accurate estimate for their specific surgical costs. Hope this helps!

This price can vary greatly depending on the doctors experience and the cost of living in your area. For a better estimate I would recommend calling around to your neighboring vet hospitals for a quote. They may require you to at least bring Oscar in for a physical exam before quoting you. Best of luck with Oscar and I hope that you can get his eye repaired soon. Also here is a financial assistance website if needed. Best wishes. http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html

I think a full ocular exam would give you more information on whether one or both eyes need to come out. The small eye may be congenital or may have already ruptured and may not be painful any longer. The larger eye could be large just because it looks bigger as compared to the small eye or could have glaucoma. KCS can easily be diagnosed with a vet, but will likely need life-long medications to manage, and these can be expensive depending on the medication and formulation used. Many dogs with severe KCS have their eyes enucleated and become much more comfortable. My impression from reading her file is that she has very painful eyes, and that this is a chronic pain. Bilateral enucleation would easily resolve this pain and may improve her quality of life drastically. The cost for this surgery can vary depending on the vet clinic chosen, you may call around and ask for rough quotes for bilateral enucleation. It could range from $700 to $1500 or more. I would recommend that she have both eyes done at the same time (if the vet performing the ocular exam thinks they are both defective eyes) as this will decrease total time under anesthesia and make Lia only have to recover from a painful procedure once. If both eyes are removed, then she may not need significant medical care or follow-ups (cost-wise) after she is fully recovered. Her file tells me that she may be a great one to rescue if your group can cover the costs of surgery. I admire the work you do and appreciate your compassion more than you will ever know!

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Honey. Without a full examination of this including the depth in person, your questions are very difficult to answer. Prices vary greatly across the United States depending on where you live. You should take Honey in immediately and get her evaluated. The vet can examine her and give you an accurate quote regarding the removal of this growth. Good luck

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Rumple. I agree, it does sound like he has an eye infection. Please know that prices vary between clinics, so I cannot give you an exact cost. An exam is typically between $45-$55. The vet will likely want to stain his eye with fluorescein to make sure there isn't a corneal ulcer, and will prescribe a topical medication for his eye. Those will be additional costs on top of the exam. I would expect to pay between $100-$200. Any eye problem is an emergency, so you need to take him into a vet now. Best of luck.

It is difficult to give an estimate for surgery without examining the puppy to see exactly what needs to be done to repair the cleft lip. The price will also vary by location and the vet who performs the surgery. The best thing would be to have her examined by a few vets in your area to compare estimates.

Cost of veterinary services is highly variable depending upon your geographic location, and the type of hospital you use. Dental cleanings are particularly variable in price depending upon the severity of dental disease. The reason for this is because in many cases, dogs can require many tooth extractions which is both tedious and time consuming. This will extend anesthesia time and thus the cost of the procedure. As far as the mass on the eye, depending on the location, this would be something that could be removed while under anesthesia for the dental procedure. Determining what the growth is would require a biopsy with a laboratory. Hope this makes sense.
