The Cost of Vets
Here is what it cost to keep my sick puppy with vets for two nights. Keep in mind that this is the invoice for a 24/7 emergency animal clinic located in Chicago. Still, it is a good idea of how much it will cost to “heal” your dog at a clinic…a lot. In the next post I will show how much it cost to get all the supplies and medicines I needed to heal my puppy at home.
| Description | Amount | Cost |
| Emergency Exam | 1 | $86 |
| Parvo antigen-in house | 1 | $48 |
| IV catheter placement | 2 | $50 |
| IV fluid 1st liter | 1 | $25 |
| ECC level 4 care (Isolation) | 2 | $300 |
| Hetastarch infusion | 1 | $50 |
| KCL-additive | 1 | $2 |
| Dextrose-additive | 1 | $2 |

Altogether, this cost $1,968.60. And it would have been much more if we’d kept her there as long as the vets told us we should.
