My dog is rubbing her head and walking sideways. Are her ears bothering her?

It could be something is bothering Eivan's ears, like an ear infection. Or his ear could have been itchy. Shaking the head can make you a little disoriented and off balance, so that would explain why he was tripping. Keep an eye on him, and if he does this again, have him seen by a vet.

She might be feeling a bit anxious if she hasn't stayed at your house or location before. Spending a little more time cuddling or exploring the neighborhood together may help her feel more comfortable on walks and when at home. If she seems itchy at all on her face or ears, it is the time for seasonal allergies which could be at play. Checking for any redness, irritation or discharge from the ears can help alert you to any problems, and if anything new arises or is very bothersome, having your vet take a look is best.

It is difficult to say for sure but from your description it sounds as though Precious may be having ataxia (wobbly gait). This is due to a neurological issue or possibly a problem with the liver. Your veterinarian will be able to perform testing to determine the cause of this problem.

There can be numerous reasons that this may be happening to Zooey and most likely you will need to have her checked out by your vet to determine the cause. She might be suffering from an ear infection that is deep enough to affect her equilibrium, she may have some weakness in one or more kegs caused by arthritis or an injury, she may have arthritis in her spine. These are just a few of the possible causes. I would recommend a general exam for her to see if a cause can be detected.

It sounds like Sage could have an ear infection or may be having an allergic reaction to something. If her face appears swollen you should see an emergency veterinarian right away. If she continues to rub or scratch her ears tomorrow you should make an appointment with your regular veterinarian to have her ears examined.

Water could accidentally gotten into Simba's ear. Water in the ear can lead to an infection, so I'd keep an eye on her for now. If this behavior continues over the next day, then I'd take her into the vet on Monday. Best of luck.

Dogs can have head tilts because of a neurologic problem (such as vestibular syndrome), or if something related to their head is bothering them. If the issue just started after your walk, and given Charlie's young age and the fact he was wearing a muzzle, I would be suspicious there's something bothering him with one of his ears - perhaps the strap of the muzzle irritated it, or he has an early ear infection, or got a little debris in his ear. Even if his ears look fine to you, the ear canal has a bend in it that requires an otiscope to be able to see all the way down to his eardrum. Problems in the mouth don't usually cause a dog to tilt their head. If the issue just started, and if he's acting completely normal otherwise, I'd keep an eye on it for a day or two. If he keeps tilting his head, or if any other symptoms start, I'd have him seen by a vet. Hope this helps!
