Built for families facing a $4,000–$7,000 ER foreign body surgery quote. If your pet was diagnosed with a swallowed toy, sock, corn cob, or linear foreign body at your vet or an Austin ER, we offer same-day and next-day surgical transfers on Mon, Tue, Thu, and Fri.

How Our Single-Visit Surgical Model Works
- 1
Send your records
Share your vet or ER estimate, X-rays, and bloodwork. We use the diagnostics you already have.
- 2
Confirm your flat rate
Our surgical team reviews your case and confirms your all-inclusive package — no separate consult visit.
- 3
One morning visit
Drop off in the morning and our surgical team performs your pet's surgery. Once recovered from anesthesia, your pet is discharged or transferred to the appropriate post-operative care — some patients go home the same day, while others are transferred back to your referring veterinarian or a 24-hour emergency hospital for overnight care.
Already Have a Surgical Estimate From Your Vet or ER?
Bring or send your current diagnostic records and treatment estimate—plus a photo for external masses—and our surgical team will confirm your pet's all-inclusive flat-rate package at Common Good. Because we are a surgery-only facility with no separate consultation visit, we use the bloodwork and X-rays your vet has already performed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does foreign body surgery cost in Austin?
Our flat rates are $650 for exploratory laparotomy, $800–$1,000 for gastrotomy or enterotomy, and $1,500 for resection and anastomosis. Prices are subject to change, so please call (512) 559-6421 for the most up-to-date price.
Can my pet be transferred from an ER?
Yes. If your pet has been diagnosed with a foreign body at your vet or an Austin ER, we offer same-day and next-day surgical transfers on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Do I need new X-rays?
Usually not. Send us the X-rays and bloodwork already performed and we'll review them for your surgical plan.
What kinds of foreign bodies do you remove?
Common cases include swallowed toys, socks, corn cobs, and linear foreign bodies such as string or fabric.
Will my pet go home the same day?
Some patients go home the same day with medications and recovery instructions. Because foreign body obstructions are urgent abdominal surgeries, not every patient is stable enough to go straight home — patients needing continued IV fluids or overnight monitoring are transferred back to your referring veterinarian or a 24-hour emergency hospital for overnight care.
Every pet is different and final costs may vary with size and condition. Prices are subject to change, so please call (512) 559-6421 for the most up-to-date price.
