OK, I know I'm a little late here, but it's been one of those months. I had Indi spayed by our long-time (and very IMO very good) vets in early July; they repaired an umbilical hernia at the same time. The total cost was $334, including a $71 blood panel that they recommend before surgery but don't require. A big chunk of the charges, maybe 1/3, was anesthesia-related; I think there was also ~1/2day boarding fee of about $30 (I dropped her off at 7am & probably got her at 5pm).
