My vet charges $85. He uses gas for anesthesia and removes the testicles but leaves the sac so he still has something there. Mine didn't even really notice anything missing (no chewing or excessive licking anyway) and were completely back to their old selves in 3 days. About a month after the surgery, their bald spots dissapeared and they became less agressive during play and got along with the females better (no more squabbles at 3 am.)
