Surgery costs seem to vary wildly from place to place and even locally.
We just had our first adrenal surgery and the vet estimated $250-350,
depending on complexity and such once she was in. It wound up being $335,
and she took out not only the left adrenal, but some insulinoma nodules,
part of the pancreas, and a large hairball. Another vet in the area
estimated $450-650. But i guess it depends in part on where you are.
This is the midwest, generally cheaper in all things than the coasts.
