I think my dog is constipated or has diarrhea but I'm not sure, he still eat but when he walks It looks like he might stumble on his feet because he's so weak and walk so slow. What should I do?

Rio sounds like he is very sick. When pets begin to show evidence of weakness, this indicates that there is severe illness taking place. This could be due to many things including dehydration, low blood sugar, electrolyte imbalance, infection or neurologic disease. It is impossible to know what is happening without a physical exam and blood work. I recommend to have Rio examined by his veterinarian right away. Serious conditions that are treated early are more likely to have a better outcome. Best of luck.
