My dog got attacked by a stray dog and he was bleeding from his leg and stomach it’s been 3 days since it happened, something is wrong with his jaw because he won’t eat, he has loose skin on his stomach and he seems depressed. How much would it be to take him to the vet?

Poor Paco! He really needs to be examined by a vet to determine the extent of his injuries. The cost really depends on where you live and the treatment needed. You could call some local vets and ask the cost of an examination but treatment will vary depending on what needs to be done. He should be examined by a vet as soon as possible so that treatment can be started.
