I had the same deal last summer. Nice young dog, being hunted hard trying to finish him out. Then he stopped eating, legs and joints got very stiff, and he seemed dizzy,when he tried to stand. I did some research on vet forums, and I thought he either had Lyme disease, or tick fever. Took him to the vet on Monday morning. He tested negative for both, but vet thought it was some kind of tick borne infection. Treated him with Docycyclene. By that afternoon he was starting to act like himself, and began eating. Recovered very fast. I didn't know it untill then that ticks carry several infections, not just two.
