A bacterial culture and sensitivity panel may cost about $100-$150. This does not include collection costs or treatment costs. Prices may vary by geographic location, so it would be best to contact your veterinarian and request an estimate for services. Most, if not all, clinics will provide one as a matter of hospital policy.
