The stitches are off! Dog Neutering Vet Bill Cost edition.
Yes, after one week of feeling down and lonely for having lost his balls, Puppy Brown is now a bonafide offspring-less bachelor.
Dr. M snipped the stitches as quickly as possible. No more E-collars for us! Of course, he still had to deal with a few hands restraining him on the vet's metal table during the process.
Castration Costs:
Procedure: 2,500 php (roughly $70)
Antibiotics: 4.50 php x 2 capsules/day x 7 days= 63 php (less than $2)
E-colllar: Free (but if you need one, shih tzu sized e-collars cost around 200-350 php)
Betadine (for wound application): 100 php ($2.5)
Cotton: 15 php (less than $0.50)
Transportation: Location dependent.
Approximately, $75. Not bad. We're so lucky Dr. M didn't charge us for having the stitches removed.
Some things to consider:
Bloodworks: 900 php (roughly $23)
Additional Medication and Recovery food: 500-1000 php ($12 - $24)
Additional Vet Check-ups: 250 php/visit ($7/check-up)

Not the vetties again. I know the vets are real pretty, but I've been put to shame more than enough. |

Warning: Do not try this at home. Dr. M is a licensed vet with a few years of experience under her belt. |

Not all hands were there to restrain him. One was just keeping him distracted. Puppy Brown is a sucker for chin scratches. |
