Why is Dublin above the Ireland average?

Does pet insurance cover abscess surgery?

Yes, for most accident-and-illness plans, subject to your deductible, waiting periods and any pre-existing-condition exclusion.

What affects the price of abscess surgery?

Small pet size and weight (medication and anaesthesia scale with weight), whether bloodwork or imaging is needed first, after-hours timing, and whether a specialist is involved.

How can I pay less for abscess surgery in Dublin?

Ask for an itemised estimate, compare two clinics, check veterinary-college teaching hospitals, ask about payment plans, and use insurance if the small pet was covered before symptoms started.
