My 12-year-old dog, Sampson, has failing hips and is struggling to move, including going to the bathroom. He couldn't get up the stairs last night and had to be carried by a neighbor. He ate his treats this morning but not his breakfast, which isn't unusual due to his sensitive stomach. He's been having hip issues for a while but never this severe. I can't get him into the car to take him to a hospital. What should I do?

I noticed this two weeks ago on his back, and he has not been itching or licking the area. I started him on probiotics and an antifungal shampoo, but his condition has not improved. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
