Hello, sorry to hear about Vito. These signs could indicate early onset of arthritis in his hips or back. Other areas such as pain in his knees can also be exacerbated by cold weather. I would recommend having Vito evaluated by your veterinarian if he continues to be weak in his hind so that they can further treat his arthritis. In the interim, try walking him during the warmer parts of the day. His intermittent vomiting may be a separate issue not associated with his weak hind end. This should also be evaluated if he is doing it daily, or if he vomits more than 3-4 times in one day. Hope this helps and best of luck.
