Hi! You do really need to get your pup to the vet.... I had a 16 yo Border Collie that was in great health until about 4 years ago.....she one day couldn't stand up or walk - so I brought her to the vet and found out she had Cushings Disease....it shortens the tendons in their legs....and the drink a ton more water and had the distended belly ...because she was so old already ot was hard but my vet knows how much I loved her and said - well if you have to make sure she can pee...so we used a makeshift sling and few days later she was hopping around (like a bunny) and was like that until May of this year......I couldn't do all of the treatments for Cushings because she was so old and they were afraid that might hurt more than help as long as her quality of life was still there....she was a GREAT dog! Hope it goes well for you and your pup!

My 17 year old Border Collie showed the same issues about 4 years ago and was diagnosed with Cushings Disease....it shortens the tendons in their legs....sometimes the skin is affected and they drink a ton of water .....the can definitely treat it but my dog was already 12 at the time..... so we just made sure to watch her and she lived 5 more happy years....bouncing like a bunny but still chasing squirrels....if it is caught early enough the better! Good luck to you and your pup....and I agree go to you ER vet....or say its an emergency....because it can be something a lot more grave....
