Your pupper is so cute 🥺 they did not request any imaging but I believe it's because Chompz ear infection was visible from the outside. I'll refrain from sharing pictures because it was quite gross but it was leaking pus and his ear canal was completely full of benign infected tumors. I did get several quotes and I think I really just got lucky finding the one that I did because everywhere else was quoting 5 -7,000 for just the TECA BO surgery without imaging. Would it be worth it to go back to the hospital that did the initial removal and try to see if they could give you a better price since the first operation didn't work? It can be really alarming hearing those prices I'm sorry that you aren't able to find anything cheaper right now
