Possibility of a brain tumor is small. High temperature is usually from an infection - fever can cause seizures. Could be an aneurysm (a brain bleed). If the phenobarb isn't working, you've probably got a very serious and expensive problem on your hands that may not be curable.
Check out the website at the Cornell Vet school & good luck with the poor old dog...

This is not likely a brain tumor. It definantly in the nerveous system. Are you currently giving meds on a daily basis? Ask vet about Possasium Bromide

i don't know the percentage, but i do know that my cat had something similar, but it wasn't because of a brain tumor. it was because she was gnawing on wires from our computers. why don't you check all your electrical wires around the house and look for bite marks. then tell your vet.

VERY low odds.
Very poor prognosis though. If it was my dog..I'd let it go. NOT happy now,is it?
