Here's the breakdown:
Vet Scan Prep Profile/CBC $72.50
Pre-Med for Anesthesia $30.95
Extract Tooth-Premolar $35.50
Suture $30.10
Dental Anesthesia/IV & Gas $87.70
IV Catheter-Single Use $24.61
Ultrasonic Scale/Polish $40.99
Dental X-Ray $51.00
Oravet Application $17.40
Oravet Plaque Prevention Gel $22.40
Suture Materials $12.85
Meds to Go Home $30.00
Sales Tax $ 3.14
Total $459.14
Do any of these items look unnecessary to you? I tend to just take their word for it - but Gracie seems OK to me. They told me that if I ignore her teeth she could get an infection in her heart that could kill her.
. I want to do what's best for her but $459 is a lot of money to me. I was just awarded LTD after 3 months of no income.
Thanks!
