Thank you for your question. The cost of vaccination and surgical repair of a hernia will vary greatly between veterinarians. I recommend you call a local clinic and they should be able to give you an estimate for these procedures. At the time of Oso's first puppy exam and vaccinations, the veterinarian can decide if hernia repair should be done right away, or if it can be delayed and done at a later time with neutering. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
