I took my dog for a consult as he was having trouble walking. The vet took a quick look and told us it was a condition that required invasive, expensive surgery to fix asap. He said it was the only option or he would never walk again. They were also very quick to tell us the money would need to be paid in full up front. I took him elsewhere for a second opinion and was informed that he was most likely mis-diagnosed. The second specialist fixed his leg-no surgery required.

Approximate cost: $75-3000
