Saw a middle aged dog the other day which presented to similar signs to those described by the opening post and had been witnessed licking a toad! A phonecall to VPIS confirmed that his signs could be consistent with exposure to toad toxins. Was a new one on me!

Metaldehyde poisoning? I had one that took 48hours of supportive treatment before it was neurologically normal again.

One of my colleagues had an odd case one weekend that sounded similar and was due to toxins from mouldy yoghurt . That recovered over about 2-3d with just supportive treatment.

Pyrethroid poisoning? Any Bob Martins around? OP poisoning would be another consideration. Failing that a toad.

I've also had clients spray their pet with a household flea spray causing pyrethroid toxicity. On one classic occasion it was cat. They'd applied Bob Martins dog to it the day before. The cat showed toxicity symptoms the next day with involountary scratching of its back and neck which they interpreted as more fleas so they gave it a good dose of the household spray. 4 days on a propofol infusion and it was good as new. Worth saving those pennies on the supermarket stuff obviously!
