What's the maximum cost for dog prolapse surgery for my dog?

Question

I went to the vet today to give my rescue dog zachary a check up with his prolapse hes had this since he was found by the rescue they stiched it up but it came back out again. He bleeds everytime he poops. The doctor gave him an anal exam and he said that the tissue thats prolapsing is rotting and he needs surgery to remove it. I just want to know how much would be the maximum cost for that kind of surgery? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 7 lbs

Hello. I am sorry that Zach has this problem. A proplapsed rectum is very difficult to treat medically (without surgery) and often this occurs when part of the tissue needs to be removed. In terms of costs, this will vary greatly depending on where you go to do it and who is comfortable doing this surgery. It can be a complicated surgery and going to a specialist may be required. If your vet is comfortable doing the surgery then they will likely be less expensive then a specialist. Costs will vary depending on the clinics in your area, so you will have to call around to get quotes, we won't be able to give you a price online. I would recommend calling a few clinics, both general practices and surgical specialists, and getting a few quotes to compare. Good luck with Zach, I hope he has a speedy recovery.
