Hi guys,

My in-laws have a dog and it doesn't look very well every time he have a meal. I suspect is that they fed him bones from left over meals most times and had caused indigestions. I'm planning to take it to the vet to have it checked out. But I'm not prepared for a hefty bill to land on my lap. If let say he is really confirmed to have indigestions due to bone clogging up in his intestines, I believe he will have to under go surgery to have those bones removed and also perhaps 1-2 week hospital stay right?

Have anyone gone through similar experience before? How's the surgery and hospital costs like? Need to prepare myself and save up before I take him for a vet visit. I'm prepared for somewhere the range of RM 4,000 but not anything in the range of RM 5,000 and above.

Your advice is much appreciated.

Thank you!

i suggest to take it to a vet asap but Sunday usually most vet not open.

Once in vet you can ask for a ball park figure before you opt for any further procedures and surgery. They would also do x-ray potentially before recommending any treatment regime.

If kl or pj, might want to check out Gasing veterinary as they are quite fully equip and price is reasonable.

I don't think it would be up to 5k but again it's depends on the vet you visiting. Best thing is to get an x-ray or any relevant scan done to confirm if it's indeed the case.
If yes you can use that confirmation to call up other vets and obtain a ballpark figure with other vet's by calling them up if want to enquire about the cost of operation.

It's consider urgent If the dog can't pass motion out then it's indigestion. Overtime the dog will die. better be quick on that.
