Adrenal costs, as well as other veterinary costs are dependent on where you live. There was a recent discussion on the FHL about the costs of adrenal surgery and costs ranged anywhere from $250.00 to $2600.00. There are very good reasons for this seemingly outrageous range i.e., property values, staff salaries, etc. I could tell you what tests cost me, however, that wouldn't help you much unless you lived in my area. For example, an ultrasound cost me $500.00 that was done by a board certified radiologist, who is also a veterinarian. The Tennessee panel ranges from $170.00 to $200.00, but may be higher or lower than that range - depending on the overhead of sending the test, drawing blood, etc. at your local veterinary clinic. It also takes 2 - 3 weeks for the results. I have heard people complain about the high costs of Lupron injections and I'm not sure what they are paying but it costs me $36.00 for a one-month Lupron Depot injection, which I consider more than reasonable, given I paid $34.00 for a dropper bottle of Clavamox. On the other hand we don't even have Melatonin implants here, they have to be ordered from the U.S. (I'm in Canada) - so costs are higher, that is, in my area. Consequently Melatonin implants are not even offered. I can buy a bottle of liquid Melatonin (3 mg.) at the local drug store for $25.00. Bottom line - check with your local veterinarian.
