What would it cost to fix an umbilical hernia in a kitten? my kitten has an umbilical hernia that I am preparing to set, so I was wondering what the reasonable range set it should be?
I understand that it is possible to fix during the sterilization process (yes she is a girl) but I want to know how much it is to fix one?
I also understand that different places at different prices, but I need to know because I want to know if I get a reasonable price.
So please try to answer my question as best you can
please and thank you
Well, you should get your kitten spayed, I suppose it is already, so you do not want to do together?
I would say that fixing the hernia would run the same as castration. Thus, between $ 100 and $ 300 depending on where you go (private veterinary clinic or shelter cons). They require the same preparation and anesthesia, etc.
Only the veterinarian doing the operation might say that ......
I can not give you an exact price, but we had a number of female catkins rescue who had a hernia repaired when they were sterilized. There's really no reason to do it separately, as the biggest cost of surgery is anesthesia and time veterinarian. You pay about double for them separately. It should cost about the same price as a spay - if done by a veterinarian in private practice. You can not compare the cost of sterilization in a local clinic / shelter to repair a hernia at a private veterinarian, as the changes are very small as they attempt to prevent further reproduction of cats.
If your vet charges $ 300 for sterilization and a hernia could cost about $ 350 as is or may be a little more complex depending on the size of the hernia. But I do not see why you just did not do both, and save yourself money, and the recovery time for both operations.
you can do in a clinical low cost that is paired with a college veterarian
