Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Dezi: How much does it cost to fix sleep apnea in dogs?
Our 160lb Mastiff has sleep apnea, I couldn’t sleep and she was sleeping behind my legs and she stopped breathing for a good minute, I had to vigorously shake her in order to help her breath. I Read up that surgery is the only option for her. Does anyone have an idea of how much it costs? I know, I will call our vet, but I am looking for ideas. Ty in advance
She is not overweight, it isn’t humid or hot… She does snore very loud. She isn’t really active because she needs a hip replacement. ;(

Hell – I’d never heard of it.

I haven’t got a clue, but appreciate how worrying that would be for you.

Do hope you are able to get the operation done and she is fine.

Question by rupert: Military disability, Sleep apnea and out of pocket CPAP cost?
I am currently in the United States Army and I was recently diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. The doctor told me that I will have to use a CPAP machine to help me get better sleep at night. I have done some research and found out that I will be eligible for 50% disability, and some of the disability money will be used for CPAP parts. I was wondering on average how much “out of pocket money” do theses parts cost.
the first answer is great not to high of a out of pocket cost but I was wondering if there were monthly parts you need to buy and if so how much they cost

Take a look at these two sites: http://www.cpap-supply.com and http://www.cpap.com. Both of these internet suppliers offer equipment and some packages that I found would cost me much less over time than using my insurance. I use a Respironics RemStar Plus with C-Flex, a Sulivan Humidaire humidifier and a Respironics ComfortGel mask. The whole thing cost me about 0 including shipping. My insurance wanted me to rent with my co-pay at /month. I’ve used the equipment for over three years now so that works out to 0 vs. 00. How do you think I did? My sleep study was covered by my insurance. If you don’t have insurance, find a center near you who is American Academy of Sleep Medicine accredited and talk to them. Many places will negotiate the price, especially if you can pay cash and they don’t have to carry.
