My dogs got in a scuffle with each other the other day, and now one of them has what looks like a tennis ball on the side of her throat. Regular vet said to take her to emergency. Called Alpen Glow in Boulder (they did other dog's TPLO surgery), and they said visit will start at $163, just to examine her, not including draining (or whatever) to take care of it.
Any suggestions on somewhere I can take her that will be slightly less painful on the wallet, but will still give her good care? Or, is that pretty typical pricing?
