Pepper The Cat Gets A Dental Cleaning & Tooth Extraction
Treatment Cost (USD): $376.50
Pepper, a 3 year old domestic shorthair cat, came to Jarrettsville Veterinary Center when her owner sought a second opinion as to whether or not she needed to have a tooth extracted. Pepper's owner had been to another vet in the area, and was given an estimate of $800 - $1000 for a dental cleaning and extraction, and due to the signficant expense, she wanted a second opinion. While Pepper's owner wanted to the right thing for her cat, she found the original estimate to be cost prohibitive and was concerned about raising adequate funds for the procedure.

My Cat Recently Had A Bilateral Chain Mastectomy Following The Diagnosis Of An Adenocarcinoma In…

My cat recently had a bilateral chain mastectomy following the diagnosis of an adenocarcinoma in one of the chains. She came through the surgery well and all looked good at her follow up appointment. However, over the next few weeks I started to notice her stomach swelling. I took her into my vet 3 weeks after getting her stitches removed to check it out. She did an x-ray and tested the fluid and determined it was a seroma. She drained the fluid and started her on antibiotics. The seroma has returned (from what I’m reading here that’s not surprising) but it is firmer this time. Should I be concerned about that? Does anyone have recommendations on what to use for compression of the abdomen in a cat? I’m concerned the seroma will keep increasing in size. How do I determine how big is too big to just wait it out? Thanks!

    Hello,
    Seromas are pretty typical after removing a large piece of tissue. The space removed has the potential to be the size of the subsequent seroma.

    Thank you! Can seromas be firm?
    This picture was before it was drained the first time. It’s come back but it’s not quite as big as it was yet

My Rescue Cat Of 5 Years Is Showing All The Symptoms Of Nasopharyngeal Polyp. He…

My rescue cat of 5 years is showing all the symptoms of Nasopharyngeal Polyp. He is my everything!
OH please I am begging for help here ! I am disabled and he is the center of world . I am on the south west coast of Washington State, my rescue cat Kiki presents with all these symptoms ( I come from a family of RN and Bachelor in Nursing ) I have called vest around here and ALL of them say they do not do this surgery because they dont have the scope, or they will not even discuss possible price or treatment without me coming in and the vet seeing them. They say they will diagnose and refer me to a specialty clinic not far away . The specialty clinic gave me a quote of $3,500-$5,000 !! If this is even what is wrong with him . I am devastated that no one will even discuss this with me without paying for a vet visit. It looks like i could spend hundreds in visits before i can find someone who is even willing to think about this surgery without referral to the very expensive specialty place . PLEASE HELP I CANNOT AFFORD THAT MUCH !! Meanwhile my poor sweet Kiki is slowly getting worse. I dont know what to do anymore !!!!!!!!

    Hello,
    I’m sorry to hear about your kitty. I recommend that you keep calling and start with any of the small privately owned feline practices. Also call the vet school and all of the local rescues. Go to Facebook and Nextdoor.com and ask for help. Someone out there has to be able to look for you. And to do it affordably. I really wish you the best of luck.

Max The Havanese Terrier: Not Much Tartar But Oh Those Gums! Ouch!
Treatment Cost (USD): $590.00
Max, a 9 year old Havanese Terrier, was seen for his annual exam. The veterinarian noted that Max had some tartar buildup on his teeth, but what was worse than the tartar was Max's gingivitis and gingival erosion (inflammation and receding of the gums.) Max was even having some trouble eating because his mouth was painful. His owner mentioned that adding water to soften the food helped somewhat. Since Max was obviously in pain and it was affecting his ability to eat, it was recommended that Max have a dental exam, scaling and polishing.
