My guess would be possibly meningitis from diskospondylitis or SRMA. I'm not sure what testing, if any, has already been done but I think you are going to need quite a bit of testing done to get this sorted (x-rays, blood testing, etc). What treatments have already been administered? Have steroids been tried? I think SRMA may be the cause. Suggest this to your vet and see what they think. It is hard for me to comment too much as I have not examined the dog myself and I do not know what testing has been done (or the results) or what treatments have been tried. Here is a link to an article about SRMA: http://www.fitzpatrickreferrals.co.uk/neurology/steroid-responsive-meningitis-arteritis-srma/ Hope this helps. If you have more question feel free to post again.
