How much should I budget for my dog's fetal onset neuroaxonal dystrophy?

A DNA test for the MFN2 gene costs $75–$150. Combined with a veterinary exam and any additional workup, initial diagnostics typically run $300–$800 total. Because this condition has a poor prognosis, costs are primarily diagnostic and palliative. End-of-life care including humane euthanasia typically costs $100–$300. Ongoing neurological monitoring typically costs $150–$300 per visit every 3–6 months. Physical therapy or hydrotherapy, if recommended, runs $50–$100 per session. Pet insurance is worth checking if you had it before any signs appeared — many policies cover treatment of genetic conditions.
