What does urinary trouble usually cost?
The exam, a urinalysis, imaging, fluids and a hospital day are priced. Stone surgery is not its own line yet.
This page describes typical costs. It is not a diagnosis and it does not say what your pet needs. Only a veterinarian who has examined your pet can do that.

Clinic lists
These metros have their own pages. City prices live on each line's cost guide.
What this usually means
Straining, blood in the urine or frequent attempts can come from infection, crystals, stones or inflammation. Dogs and cats both get urinary disease. Which tests to run is the clinic's decision after an exam.
A blocked cat is an emergency and a different kind of bill from a simple infection. This page lists lines that show up across those visits. It does not say which ones a pet needs.
Why the bill varies
- A urinalysis with an exam is a different bill from imaging and a day in the hospital.
- Surgery for stones, when a clinic recommends it, is not included in any line on this page.
