Another sick canine child

I have been up now 24 hours straight with Oakley our 7 year old pound pup. Last night before we went to bed we noticed he was kinda just out of it and not his self, jumping off the walls you know. Then I noticed as he did get up he was walking weird in the back end so naturally I called the vet 10:30 at night (not to late) so I got the vet on call for the night (not our vet) explained the symptoms and was told to give a baby aspirin and bring him in in the morning. So we were up all night with him, the aspirin did help with the walking weird problem.
So 7:30 we left for the vet a full blood workup was done and everything came back clean the vet explains I think he just has a tummy ache and sends us home with prescription dog food.
This is a dog that bounces off the wall, grabs shoes, and clings to his mama and always on my heel. He is just laying around with no energy what so ever. The vet did tell me if it is still going on in a couple of days we may want to run some x-rays to check for obstructions.
He does get up to let me know he needs to go outside but as soon as he's back in it's to his bed.
I'm thinking we may need to see another vet, second opinion thing.
Oakley has never been sick since we have had him (6 years), we go once a year for check-up and that 's it, now Annie our Basset that's a different story.

Yes we have Annie-Oakley at our house.
