How much should it cost for Knee Surgery on a 60 lb dog? - bad knee for your dog
My dog (and Australia) has a dislocated kneecap two legs diagnosed .. This represents approximately 1500 - 2000 dollars. (per transaction)
Now he is may have been about 7 years ago, my Mikey Maltese (God bless him) has undergone knee surgery and was 700 and had hip surgery 4 years ago, only 400
I can not believe that the price would be almost twice as high? Since the surgery in the dog is really difficult to make a great dog. (I was told at that time, it was difficult, in some small bones, and there is the possibility that a three-legged dog could end up depending on the severity of the knee) was in fact
(FYI, Mikey last operation (hip surgery) aggrivated his cancer (which was approximately 5 years) and it was not long after the rest had to be shelved: ()

Bad Knee For Your Dog How Much Should It Cost For Knee Surgery On A 60 Lb Dog?

Depending on the vet. Normal veterinarians are usually less expensive than surgical specialists.
We have the knees to my help around 800-1200. It depends on who does it and where you live in the country.
The best surgeons in this area costs 1500th If it were my dog, I would be better. All follow-up visits were recorded and this guy is great.
Good luck!
EDIT:
I agree with you about the certification. I would not let anybody leave this type of surgery in one of my dogs (dogs or rescue) that are not certified. This is much more complex than a simple sterilized or neutered.
Sounds like you do your homework and make an informed decision.
It depends entirely on the operation, she is. My dog had knee surgery 3 years ago, it was a patented process, which cost about $ 2500 Patented process can pay only a few surgeons, the royalties to the inventor must be conducted so that the price is high. My dog also has more than 60 pounds, but I do not think the weight is the biggest problem in general and the invasive form of surgery is difficult.
You can also use for other veterans. Some free and can be much less able to help other options, at least most of your current veterinarian.

Much. Your vet should be able to estimate the price.
My 25-26 pound beagle swallowed a wooden stake, and the operation costs $ 2700 and medical bills were about $ 2,000, then surgery for the dog on her knee, I would say that at least $ 5000 with doctor bills and operation.
The price seems right, because it is a great dog. Knee surgery, may also be another problem, patellar luxation is more expensive than the operation of the anterior cruciate ligament, which would have been another dog.
I must have the leg of my dog, has retired 10 years ago, and then the price was $ 250. Now is $ 800 + for an amputation of a dog of their size. Definently prices rose.
1000 Buck Maybe Yes Im not sure
it depends on the EFP. Some veterinarians to increase their prices and do not be surprised!
