My 15-year-old Brittany Spaniel has lost control of his bodily functions, often soiling himself during sleep, and struggles to walk during park walks, often needing to be carried. He sleeps most of the day and is active at night. When is it time to consider euthanasia for him at a vet?

My dog, a 6-year-old bull boxer weighing 65 pounds, has been lethargic and depressed since returning from a week-long stay at my parents' house where he played with other dogs. He was shaking lightly and crying, and now he seems to have a sore neck, keeping his head low and not lifting it much. He has no changes in appetite, no vomiting, and his gums are healthy pink. He is not limping or lame. What could be causing his symptoms, and should I take him to the vet?
