My cat George needs teeth extracting, last year I was given a written quote of just over £400, now from the same vet Ive been given a verbal quote of over £700, when I queried it he said that the first quote wasn’t for a senior cat, should I get a second opinion?

Yes, there is nothing to lose doing that They do have to give a different anasetic(sp) with older cats and dogsI am in Northern Ireland and was quoted £265 that included no matter how many teeth out etc and she was 16. But has she had kidney problems they decided she might not survive being put under.0

Older animals have a higher risk with aneasthetic, just as older people do They need xtra monitoring and care. They also use a different aneasthetic gas for older animals.
All this costs more money than a routine op for a younger animal.
Prices this year will have increased over last year which will also reflect on the cost.
Your cat is a year older so may now come under the category of a 'senior' cat.
