My dog has chronic colitis. We have ruled out parasites (done fecal tests) and food allergies (we’ve done a food trial already). The next step will likely be a colonoscopy from what I’m told. Has anyone had a dog who underwent a colonoscopy – if so, how much did it cost? In the thousands or hundreds of dollars? I’m just curious.

It’s about three hundred and fifty plus here.
Before you do that, have you just considered switching foods? Colitis is an autoimmune problem where the colon swells. I would assume allergies are to blame. Or how about the vet giving a simple round of steroids to see if it clears up. At least then you will know for sure if swelling was involved. Have you done a round of antibiotics just to make sure it isn’t a bacterial infection in the colon?
You are a good dog owner to consider this. Chronic colitis isn’t curable, so you will be dealing with it for the rest of her life if that is the correct diagnosis. You might consider quality of life issues too.
I haven’t personally owned a dog that had that done but saw many of them done at veterinary school.
It should be in the hundreds. Of course depends on where it is done but usually it is the cost of anesthesia plus cost of the procedure itself. They’ll take biopsies and there will be a cost to analyze the biopsies too.
Find out what clinic might be doing it and call them directly. They can at least give you an estimate.
couldn’t they do a barium x-ray? they feed the dog a small amount of barium which shows up very very clearly and shows quite a bit of detail of the GI tract. i don’t know what colitis is but if you’re thinking like a tumor or something, i’d think a barium x-ray would make it show up rather clearly, or if something is stuck in there.
a colonoscopy shouldn’t cost very much because all you’d really be paying for is anesthesia and the vet’s time. it’s not a complicated procedure so i’d say hundreds or less, but that’s just a guesstimate, lol.
My vet wanted to charge me 689.00
Ask your own vet.. That way you’ll know exactly how much it cost.
a colonoscopy or an endoscope? both of my dogs had endoscopes done. their visit also included the anesthesia, an ultrasound, and biopsies and i believe the total was between $600- $700.
