I am surprised it is so much. Usually more for a female, but certainly that much! Yikes.

I didn't have my Abys done until they were 6 months old. Abys mature much more slowly than other breeds. I shipped them off together, so they would have company.

They are sedated for the proceedures and as far as I could tell, they were not in any pain afterwards.

I forget the total price for the two, but it seems to me it was $5o for the male and $85 for the female!
