My 10-yr-old 27 lb (very healthy) dog had her teeth cleaned last
week. The vet bill:

hospitalization $ 9
ketamine/rompun iv anesthetic 58
clean/polish 43
bloodwork 40

Do the anesthetic costs (US $58) look reasonable? Ketamine is a
generic? Rompun is Bayer brand Xylazine.

I've no intention of disputing anything: just sizing up what the
next cleaning should cost. I guess the $58 includes setting up
a drip iv or somesuch.

One data point: One local vet is advertising a teeth cleaning
special this month for $200. Her normal fee is $250. (I don't
know the breakdown.)
