I just uploaded pic... when I went in he was walking backwards,, the head was like this before but today my fathers dogs just went to attack him and that is when I saw him walking backwards, and he turned his head all the way upside down... and he wnet backward.

Goodness... unless he's seriously injured himself, it could be wry neck. I don't have any experience with it. While you're waiting for others to chime in, do a search on wry neck. Check articles and threads.
Good luck and I hope there is a fix regardless of the diagnosis. :hugs
 
wry neck. is he actually getting water and food? check his crop to see for food. Will he walk? how long this been going on?
he is the last one to eat out of the pecking order. I believe he is eating. I always use duvet vitamins in the water.. I see to give vitamin e and selium is noted.. I will see if he is drinking. I originally thought he just had a stiff neck..
