Iām so sorry youāre going through this. Stones in boys is so difficult. @%1; is correct, there is a thread for my boy Colonel Mustard. Colonel did have 2 surgeries but he also had stones that he somehow managed to pass on his own. I know this because between the 2 surgeries he had, there was also a surgery he had scheduled but was cancelled because X-rays the day of surgery confirmed he had passed the stone. Please understand that that is a rarity and surgery is the only real option.
In the end, Colonel was just genetically prone to developing stones and while the surgeries bought us years with him, and I would do it all again, we did have to let him go.
As to pricesā¦they vary wildly. Colonels first surgery, including the pre & post visits and all the meds etc, cost me over $1000. That was several years ago and thatās in Michigan. His second surgery was less, $600ish all told, but that was because I am fortunate enough to have a ānon-exoticā vet who actually spent years and years with an exotics specialist before buying our local vets place. He invested a great deal of money getting the proper equipment and vet assistants to be able to help exotics.
If you have any questions that I can answer feel free to send me a message. Best of luck
