What do you pay for an ACTH stimulation test? U.S. Dollars

[Help4Bailey]

Bailey's first ACTH Stim test cost $180 but Cortisone injection was $250 = $430. Her subsequent ACTH Stim test cost $180 but Cortisyn injection was only $50 due to the vet being able to use less of the Cortisyn. Much better cost for subsequent testing.

My error, I originally selected both $50 and $250 thinking this was the cost of the Stim test, but unfortunately my poll was placed under the $50 for ACTH Stim test which was really the cost of the Cortisyn injection of the 2nd Stim test. The actual ACTH Stim test itself was $180 each time not including Cortisone injection.

Hi, I live in Yonkers,ny I pay $385.00 per test for a Chihuahua

I live in IL just east of St. Louis, MO. I pay $147. but I would expect yours to cost that for your area because I was just out in NJ at a friend's house and everything, not just vet stuff, was 2 times as expensive there, so I would expect vet costs to be at least twice as much too. Cost of living is less here, but obviously so are our salaries.

Mine was almost 500 dollars in Indiana but I had extensive testing done.

I order vetoryl from California Pet Pharmacy on line. For my 80lb boxer on 120mg daily dose I pay $140 per month for the meds. From his vet it would be almost twice as much
