Hey, I think I may have a couple of answers for you. Definitely by all means see a vet but these are a couple of possible problems with your dog:
I have a maltese, and just a month ago, she did the same thing, tilting her head to the side and shaking her head back to forth every so often. We took her to the vet and found out she had an ear infection from the groomer. Apparently, without meaning to cause harm, water had gotten into her ear and caused it to become affected. With some help from the vet for ear medicine, my dog was better within a week and back to her old playful ways.
As for biting her feet; her nails, I feel it could be allergies. Dogs are just like humans allergic to one or more countless things. It can be a number of causes. My dog also had this problem and we found out she was allergic to dust mites! However, with the help of some medicine from the vet again, she began feeling better and thankfully her front leg has healed.
I hope its nothing severe and the vet will definitely find the problem in no time at all. I recommend asking the vet if your dog has a possible ear affection. Good luck!

TAKE HIM TO THE VET!!!!! Why are you wasting time asking questions. If your arm was broken would you get on the internet and ask people what was wrong with you or go to the hospital. Animals are not like humans, you cannot look at them and say "Oh, it's a cold they'll be fine..." You have to get them treatment or it could become much worse. And think about this too; animals by instinct do not usually show how sick they really are because in packs the weaker animals will be killed.

It's nearly impossible to diagnose a dog on the internet without without actually examining him. It could be any any number of things and a lot also d depends on his age and how long he has being acting this way. If he is still a pup, the vomiting could cause him to become dehydrated very quickly as well.
Anyone who gives you a diagnosis would only be guessing. I will tell tell you that it sounds serious and I think you need to take him to a vet. Good luck.

Could be his food. But take the dog to the vet. Did you put anything on the dog-like flea spray, perfume or shampoo?? Go to the vet-they can help.

Could be severe allergic reaction and/or poisoning, either internal or something on his skin or fur. Definitely the Vet, this is not one to wait and see or it could cost him his life.

he could have allergies or it could something like a middle ear infection. Most likely allergies. Is his skin red?...does he itch constantly? if so take him to the vet and they can give him a shot to reduce the itching and some meds to calm his skin and stop the allergies.
