At her cleaning appointment the other day, my vet recommended we pull a couple of teeth while she was under. They quoted $1600 for extractions and x-rays, not inclusive of the cleaning. I told her that we just couldn't afford that, and they said they understood and did the cleaning alone.

After I had a mini-breakdown (because I thought the care plan we pay for through the vet covered extractions, and I recognize this needs to be done, but things are so tough out here right now, and we really can't afford $1600 at the drop of a hat), I started researching where I could take her to get it done.

The problem is, most things I'm seeing are quoted at around $1600, because they include a cleaning. She doesn't need that now, it's all done, she just needs x-rays and extractions. We're willing to drive if you have a solid recommendation.

Other options: We could save up, but that's going to take a while, and I want to do right by this animal. I could use a credit card, but I had to use those for some human medical expenses not long ago, and the interest is really hurting. If we could find a vet who would be willing to do this for a reasonable price, that would be the best option.
