This sounds like Chiari as it is a deformity at the base of the skull & the deformity does not allow the spinal fluid to flow freely in & out of the brain. It can cause spinal fluid to build in the brain and/or trap it before it enters ie. the neck area.
Also Chiari can & often cause discs to go out in the dogs neck. I think this baby needs an MRI & Spinal ASAP. Also the pawing at the neck is a Deff sign of Chiari.
