Cost of dog x-rays, does anyone know?
Obviously the cost will vary, but my dog is about 70 pounds. But has anyone gotten x-rays for their dog done, and what can i expect as far as price range goes. He will be getting checked for osteosarcoma (bone cancer) :-( So hopefully, all the tests will come back negative and whatnot, but I wanted to know how much these x-rays will set me back, obviously in my opinion though money isn't an option when it comes to my pup.
thanks everyone!

Ask the vet before you go in. I used to own a cat that cost me so much in vet bills. They knew it was a strain on our buget, so they would let us post dates weekly checks for up to 2 months. You could ask if they have a payment arragement or something of the such.
Hope your pup is fine.

i know way too much about this. x rays from my vet cost around $100-125 from what i recall (add to that if they're also putting your dog under anesthesia for a biopsy). obviously your vet will have their own schedule of fees.
i hope your dog is fine :-) i lost my Buttercup (she was about 55lb) to cancer last october after going through 10 months of hospice/palliative care for her terminal cancer (myxosarcoma). feel free to send me a private message if you need anything. i'll gladly offer whatever expertise i gained from my experience.

x-ray is around 100 for us as well. If one single payment would be a problem for you, you should ask the hospital or vet clinic if they do payments before the X-ray. We did encounter one that doesn't.
Probably depends on the area you are in. Rural Oklahoma would probably be around $60, but in the Houston area it runs about $100 - $125 for the first two views and interpretation. That's usually for the specific area they are evaluating - if they suspect cancer, they may want to look at the chest too and additional views are extra. Any sedation or other procedures are additional.
I hope they don't find osteosarcoma. Good luck to you and your pal.

Allergy Remedies
Is It Possible to Go Natural?
The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
