Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Your dog is in pain, likely due to a brain tumor that is also causing the aggression and the seizures. The prognosis is not good. Please take him to your veterinarian for an exam. He may need strong sedatives, possibly steroids, and strong pain medicine. I realize you are in India, and that euthanasia is not necessarily legal or customary, however it may be time to let him go peacefully. If that is not possible, your veterinarian can at least ease his passing. Be careful that you are not bitten, as your dog does not have control over this. I am very sorry your dog is so ill.
