It can cost $1000-$2000 (ball park figures) to check for everything and often the treatment options may be limited. People get upset, so they (the vets) check for the obvious things first. X-rays show a lot. Blood work shows a lot.

Another trick, broiled chicken liver, just a tiny bit mixed in with the prescription food. Dogs love it! But, I am not sure your vet would approve, it is an organ meat.
