How much does it cost to have a leopard gecko put down?

[Keagan]

My female leo has severe MBD. She cannot walk and cannot shed properly. Since she cant walk she cannot eat. She's forced to walk with her feet and toes curled inward, and usually walks on her elbows. Her spine is mis-shaped into an "S" shape. She needs to be put down, however I need to know how much this costs. I've heard its cheap but I need the exact price. Has anyone had one put down at the vet before? How much did it cost?

I'm so sorry about your Leo. That is a tough thing to have to do, but you are making the most humane choice.

The best thing to do is call your local veterinarians and ask them what they charge. They will all have different prices even within the same city/area. Some will charge a flat rate and some will charge by weight.

Just for a ballpark, I had to do this with a hatchling and the vet charged $25.

I recently had to put down my baby, it's such a difficult thing to decide even when you know it's the best choice. You have my condolences.

My vet bill was $55, but $30 of it was for the follow up exam which was the normal price for the vet's office.
