Dog head tilting

Hi there, Around 4 weeks ago my 8 year old French Bulldog quite suddenly seemed to totally out of sorts. We got her checked at the vets as previous surgery for IVDD twice, most recently around 8 months ago. Vets did not think it was her back causing issues so gave her metacam. She did not improve much being quite lethargic and seemed to be bothered by her ears. When we took her back to the vets a week later they found ear infection in both ears, one quite bad. We treated the ear infection over the course of 2 weeks and she showed good improvements. However, I stopped giving her metacam one day last week and the next day she was almost back to square 1 again. Gave her it again the next day and she returned to what she was like day before. However, and this may just be never having noticed this before, she only seems to want to tilt her head to one side now and does this very often. I’m reading online this could be a sign of a brain tumour and also that is what might have caused the ear infections. Furthermore, taking her off the metacam and her not being great wouldn’t just be a lasting sign of ear infections? My wife is telling me not to stress but I cannot get that thought out of my head. Thanks for reading and can give more details if needed

Hello!   I cant tell you that isn't in the brain, I'm afraid, as they do often cause head tilts.  Are there any neurogical signs?  However, head tilts can also be caused by ear pain for a variety of reasons. Ear disease in dogs is often caused by inflammation, which is also worth considering.  Good questions for the vet include, do you know what is most likely to causing this, and, are there any more tests that could be done at this stage?

The Common reasons for a dog pooping blood include food allergies, constipation, eating something unsuitable, bacterial or viral infection, colitis, or injury.

A dog tilts his head to show that he is engaged much the way a human would nod during a conversation to indicate that he is listening. Social dogs that enjoy human interaction usually tilt their heads more often to encourage the continuation of the conversation and prolong the human contact.

The Shaking limbs can signify neural distress, poisoning, kidney failure, distemper, pain, or weakness. You must speak with your veterinarian or neurologist right away

Doesn’t appear to be any other neurological symptoms. In fact, the only symptom seems to be the head tilt. She also is miles better than she was a few weeks ago, pretty normal in fact. Last day or so she has started to try and rub and scratch both ears so we are taking her back to the vet this week.
