Hi,

I have a jack russell of 7 years old, lately, we have been noticing small bumps on her face, right under her right eye. We have brought her to a vet and was told that it was due to gum problem, and this was further caused by tooth decay.
In that case, if we would like to proceed with a tooth extraction, how much would that cost?

 
1. SEDATION + ISOFLURANE GAS ANAESTHESIA  $200
2. TOOTH EXTRACTION $20/TOOTH
3. DENTAL SCALING OF OTHER TEETH $50
4. POST-OP PAINKILLER AND ANTIBIOTIC INJECTION $30
5. POST-OP PAINKILLER AND ANTIBIOTIC ORAL  $30 APPROXIMATELY
6. I/V DRIP + ANTIBIOTICS I/V  $60
7. BLOOD TEST $150 (IF YOU DON'T WANT THE TEST, THEN THIS IS ZERO CHARGE)
8. CONSULTATION FEE $40 (NO CHARGE IN THIS CASE AS DIAGNOSIS IS DONE BY YOUR VET)

and what are the procedures?

NO FOOD AND WATER AFTER 10 PM THE DAY BEFORE. THE DOG COMES IN THE MORNING. 

WEIGHED, EXAMINED GENERALLY, HEART CHECKED, TEMPERATURE, PULSE AND RESPIRATION DONE. BLOOD TEST (OPTIONAL).
