Hey there! For both my boys, it was not an option, sleep apnea was very bad . Nitschke was done in 2006 and was about $3000, he was 55lbs and had three other things addressed while in surgery. Cheli was done last year and at 22lbs cost was $1300 for nares and palate reduction. Both of them healed up quick and only had to keep them calm for about a week, soft food for the first two or three days. One thing, my vet usually will not these procedures till the pup is at least 2 yrs old.... Until they finish growing.
Hope that helps.... Anything else you need just ask
