I recently found out that my 9 month old puppy(she is 20 lbs) has a problem with her front left paw that is going to require surgery. The vet said that her growth plate closed and needs to be surgically reopened. I was wondering if anyone could tell me–the approximate cost of the procedure? rehabilitation/recovery requirements and time? and if anyone has gone through this with a pet before? Please any information you may have would be greatly appreciated! Please keep my pup in your prayers.

Looks like you will be up for a lot. It cost us $700 just to get some Anti-Venom when my old pup was bitten by a snake. So probably a lot more than that.

Every vet has different prices. My dad’s dog had surgery. The U of M wanted $3000 and my vet charged $800. Prices can vary greatly. It also depends on if you are having a canine orthopedic surgeon do the surgery.

you looking around 2000 to 3000
it depends how long they keep your puppy in the clinic.
