Hi there. The cost for a surgery like this will vary greatly depending on where you live and what clinic you go to, as well as how involved the surgery is expected to be - which we can't really know without being able to palpate the tumor and get a better idea of what it's attached to, how much extra skin there is in the area, etc.

If cost is a concern, I would recommend calling around to some local clinics to see if they can give you a general price range for this type of surgery at their hospital. But to get a more specific estimate, you will likely have to take Dume in for an exam.

    Poor guy. Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to provide you an accurate or even a guesstimate on how much this would cost because each vet charges differently on a procedure like this. The best bet is to take him in to a few clinics and ask for a consultation to get a quote for a mass removal. I hope that everything works out well for Mr. Houch. Best wishes and take care.
