Why is my dog stiff, not moving, and in pain? What's wrong with him?

Question

Hi my dog recently has had a loss in appetite. He rarely moves which is unusual. When I try and bribe him to move with his favor treat or anything he dosnt. He is a bit stiff when he lies down and gets comfortable he finds it hard to get up. I cannot get him to a vets for another 3 days. He also squeals and whines sometimes if one of my kids are rough with him , this usually never happened. What’s wrong could he possibly be dying?? Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Male | neutered | 8 years and 6 months old

I'm concerned that Charlie is very unwell, and I highly recommend taking him in to a vet immediately, or getting a housecall vet to your home. Do not let your children be rough with him, as it may worsen his condition, and also is not safe for the children, as Charlie may feel forced to defend himself and accidentally injure them. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels can be prone to heart disease and also a condition called syringomyelia that can lead to neurological symptoms. He may also be dealing with infectious disease or trauma leading to his symptoms, but it is not possible to tell without having him examined by a vet, so I recommend having him seen by one right away.
