Cost of Feeding Tubes in Dogs The price of a feeding tube varies by location and also depends on the type of tube being used and the age of the dog receiving the treatment. For nasal tubes, the cost can be roughly $400, while surgically implanted tubes can run as high as $1,000. Dog Feeding Tubes Considerations Whilst a feeding tube is possibly the most effective and straightforward way to deliver food to a dog that cannot or will not eat, there are some risks that owners should be aware of.
Over 5 years, actual costs were $8380 for trabeculectomy and $10,594 for tube insertion. However, patient utility was slightly higher in the tube group than in the trabeculectomy group (3.38 vs 3.31 QALYs). Cost-effectiveness ratios were $2532 per QALY for trabeculectomy and $3134 per QALY for tube insertion.he results of a cost-effectiveness analysis based on a meta-analysis of published literature were presented here at the American Glaucoma Society 24th Annual Meeting by Richard Kaplan, BA, a graduating medical student at Columbia University in New York City.
