About how much would it cost to have a dog's anal glands removed?

Answer by  lizcro326 (201)

The cost for this procedure would depend on the area in which you live. I would suggest you get several estimates from qualified Vets in your area and take into consideration the additional cost of medications such as antibiotics/painkillers.

Not sure how much it cost but my friend has a dog and she is a very old dog and when her anal glands swell up it makes it hard for her to pass her food through so my friend has to squeeze them to drain. Very nasty!

The typical amount would be around$900-$1100 depending on the vet. Adding Metamucil to their food or feeding them vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, or celery can increase the fiber in their diets, therefore hardening the stool and ridding them of the watery diarrhea that irritates the anal glands.

I haven't been in practice for over 4 years, but then it would have run anywhere from $250-900. It all depends upon your particular situation and also the going rates in your area. I suggest trying the other multiple solutions for your problem before simply jumping into removing them! There can be many difficult consequences to the surgery!
