A cataract can be small, causing minor vision problems, or can cover the entire lens, causing total blindness. The average cost of cataract surgery for dogs is between $1500 and $3000 per eye, which covers the cost of the surgery itself plus anesthesia, hospitalization and recovery. Most dog cataracts are inherited, but they can also be caused by diabetes, poor nutrition, physical trauma and infection.
Dog and cat owners are increasingly willing to pay for expensive treatments that are more commonly associated with human patients, leading vets said yesterday. Some are happy to part with up to Â£10,000 for open-heart surgery and between Â£2,500 and Â£4,000 for knee or hip replacement. Others are paying for pet Prozac to cheer up their depressed dogs. Leading surgeons said anecdotal evidence suggests open-heart surgery, joint replacement, cancer treatment and eye surgery were all becoming more common, but there were no statistics on the number of specific treatments.
