Trying to move but not being able to does indicate that there is a neurological deficit. Since your vet seems to agree and mentioned an MRI, the best place for Otis is with a neurologist. Sometimes with older dogs who are having odd neuro symptoms that are very mild, owner will elect to just see if it gets worse. Impossible to say if that's completely okay or not since nobody knows what is going on. It is an option you could talk to your vet about. However, if you want the best care and your vet believes this is neurological, then a neuro consult is needed asap.
