If it were me, I would ask the vet. If he doesn't walk, he could have some spinal problems that may have actually caused some paralysis. If he is paralyzed it could be that he has no pain; but if he just has something terribly wrong with his spine he could be in a lot of pain. Dogs don't always outwardly show their pain.it is their natural instinct to protect themselves against being killed by other animals.
When was the last time he was to the vet, and did the vet tell you why he would be like this?

He is very old and has been unable to stand up or walk for over a year now. He stays sitting the whole day. We bring him his food and drink. He does dirty himself when he needs to do it. We are happy to continue like this, because he is still aware of everything around him, and wags his tail when we are around, and his appetite is very good. However our friends and neighbors keep telling us we are cruel and we should put him to sleep. However we have no evidence that he is suffering. Do any of you have this experience? Do you think he is suffering because he cannot walk? Are we being cruel? Any help in this matter is appreciated. Thank you Rida MORWA
