My dog is wobbling, twitching, and walking strangely. Is he poisoned?

Question

my dog , is acting strange this evening , he is wobbling his head side to side and kinda twitching. and has random bursts of energy . the way he was walking when i took him for a walk was strange as well . he was jumping with both back legs rather then moving them one by one and walking normally .. are these signs he ate something bad and is now poisoned ?

Certainly sounds like Tony is experiencing some sort of neurologic episode. While a toxin can definitely cause sudden neurological symptoms, so can inflammatory and infectious conditions, trauma, and some circulatory issues. Though Tony sounds pretty stable, I would not hesitate long in taking him to the veterinarian. There may be other clinical signs that are less obvious to you that require intervention. Hope this helps.
