(Not a Dog Question?)

My dog is dragging his rear legs. Difficulty in standing. When he lays down one of his legs is pulled to the side like he is taking pressure off of the leg. He has diaherria for the past few days. He cannot stand up to eat or drink. He is eleven years old. He stays in the pool and sometimes he cannot lift his leg up to get out.

Is is time to put him to sleep or is there a medication he can take.

How long has this been going on?
Is he just dragging one leg or both legs?
How does he urinate if he can't stand up and posture?
