couple years ago i read on the lab forum about a dog with his head tilting to one side, i wish i can remember what it was. let me take a look. you can also google it? let me search it on the other forum.

 

ok google "vestibular disease" it can be mistaken for an ear infection, epilepsy. Good luck and keep an update!!!

 

Thanks I asked the vet before about vestibular disease but she they said my dog was too young. But Ill ask again

 

Have you consulted a neurologist?

Having just gone through a neurological issue with Gabby, one of the side effects for one of the drugs they put her on were 'neurological' and they explained, things like eyes darting, head tilting, stumbling... So if head tilting can be neurological, I just wonder if one was consulted.

However a head tilt if not a problem can still be cute.

 

I havent consulted one. Ill try to see if I find one to consult. Thanks.

 

also can be mistaken for lyme disease as symptoms are similar but ask the vet about "vestibular disease" as i mentioned above.

 

ok good luck!! and have they checked for Lyme Disease???if not have them do that as well

 

Good luck with finding a diagnosis and treatment. Let us know how things go.

 

In almost 26 years as a vet, I don't think I have ever seen a pup with a head tilt. However, by definition, it could be vestibular disease caused by an inner ear infection. Most of us with older dogs see "old dog vestibular disease" or "idiopathic(don't now what causes it) vestibular disease. I know I have never seen it in a pup. I would definitely consult a neurologist.... however, sometimes they don't have all of the answers either....

 

Hi. I am actually in the Philippines, so I am not sure if they have neurologists for animals here. But I will ask.

I have a question though, if it was caused by an ear infection (the granulation tissue seen in the mri), how long does it normally take to clear up/head tilt to stop?

Thanks

 

This might be somewhat random, but maybe your dog has a pinched nerve or something like that? Have you thought of trying something like animal chiropractic? I have taken my dog, katie to the chiropractor several times as she is prone to neck issues after an injury she had earlier in life.

It might be worth a shot.

Best of luck to you and your pupper!

What happened with this, did it go away?
