Why is my senior dog having seizures, can't walk, and holds head back?

Question

So I asked bout my dog last week. He started out left leg sorry, then seizures. I've had him at the vet 3 times, they tell me he is fine. He licks his lips alot, won't eat, drink or go to the bathroom. He yulps in pain ,he tries to walk nd can only make it a couple steps nd he holds his head clear back nd stays like that for a long time..it looks like his head is touching his back nd he just looks awful. My baby needs help. Why can't he walk nd hold head back like that? Plz help. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | unneutered | 18 years and 2 months old | 4 lbs

It sounds to me like Harly is having neurological issues, probably originating from his brain. Unfortunately, the most common cause of these type of episodes in a dog Harley’s age is usually a tumor in the brain. If you are not getting the help you require from your regular veterinarian I would recommend going to see a veterinary neurologist. These doctors can run more highly specialized test and are more familiar with this type of disease process. I hope this helps. Best of luck with Harley. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
