Oh my gosh! What is the matter with all these vets?
Far be it from me to be able to diagnose your dog, as I'm not a vet, but from what you describe it sounds like he has pain, possible neurological symptoms, and maybe a hernia, apart from probable arthritis in his hip.
It also sounds to me as if he could have fluid retention. That weight might be obesity, or it might be caused by fluid build up in his body.
The surgery that he had, what was it for?
I truly wish I could suggest something to help your Yogi. He needs to see a decent vet. But it sounds like you have taken him to every vet available, and still don't have any answers....
It doesn't make sense to me that the vets one minute suggest narcotics, and the next to take him to a - what?- Psychiatrist? What's going on??
My feeling is you need to take him to a completely different vet. Even if you have to go to another town to do that. Someone who has a good rep. and hopefully someone who would arrange a payment plan with you

God Bless her at 14 years of age. I don't think you need me to tell you she has to go in for an exam. If her tounge is not hanging out to the side I don't think she had a stroke but that does not always happen.
She does have something neurological going on though. She needs to see her Vet. I hope it all works out. I wish I could give you some more adivce but this is something that needs to be addressed with the Vet ASAP.
If possible, please let us know how you make out.
Good Luck.
