Good day.. My dog has been limping every now and then with his rear leg. What would he need to do at the vet to help him.? And what are the fees involved? Also routine blood work.

Hello. Every veterinarian charges their own fees, there are no set figures. He will need an examination & possible x-rays. At 2 years of age, Blu should not need comprehensive blood work but may need some testing to narrow done the cause of his limp. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
