The cost will vary depending on the clinic, geographical location and size of the dog. You can contact the local veterinary clinic for an estimate. Most will readily provide one as a matter of hospital policy. Healing typically takes 2-3 weeks if there are no complications. Any good quality performance diet will put weight on provided the dog has no pre-existing conditions inhibiting weight gain. Brands include Acana, Canidae, Orijen or ProPlan Sport. Most home remedies will not put weight on any faster than a high quality diet. It is important to not put the weight on too fast. This can lead to injuries or health issues.
