My mare has had 4 out in 2 different surgeries. I am not in the UK so cost is not comparable, but I can give you hope that for us the recovery period was fairly short and without complications. Make sure that you have some grass cubes in just in case the horse does not manage well on hay. We started with 7 small feeds a day of grass cubes mixed with spillers high fibre cubes soaked in water, breakfast and supper had oats and muesli, with the muesli being soaked in boiling water in advance. She has now progressed to eating chaff, but still not too much hay. That having been said mine is very difficult to keep the weight on, so with a good doer you may have it easier. Good luck and glad the surgery went well.

Well he’s going to be a lot better after that is out .
I had a horse with a complicated congenital malformed tooth .
He went in to vet uni and the quote was 2 to 10k depending on what happened I think it was 2.5 ish

Definitely, he’s already much more comfortable with his face being touched will be a big relief for him x
