I wouldn't ask for anything in particular. I'd just make the appointment for pain of unknown origin and tell the vet exactly what you typed here. They'll know what to do. Xrays may be in his future (and potentially bloodwork).

Thanks!

He seems so active and on-the-go. I am glad he is going next week. I will be thinking of him. Of course, you will let us know what you find out

Thanks! He's fine otherwise- still active as ever, running like a maniac, swimming, etc.
