She does't want to walk much gets lost in the house and puts her nose to the wall. She is still eating well, and I carry her outside and she does her business. She is 12. She doesn't seem to be in any pain.But her head (only) will shake .

Thank you for your emails I will get her to the vet and hope it is an ear infection.

Could be developing something neurological.. Ask your vet what they think.

Could be a sign of aging, but could also be an ear infection. Sounds like a good reason to have a vet look her over.

That behavior could be a sign of an ear infection. Take her to the vet. If it is an ear infection, they will give you some ear cleaning solution and an antibiotic.

I hate saying this to you sweetheart, but it sounds as though there could be one of three things wrong, but only a vet can say for certain. My friends' German Shepherd started the behavior you describe and she had a tumour on her brain. ( I HATE this). It could also be a neurological disorder or a minor stroke. I am so sorry, I pray the vet proves me wrong, but you need to get her there as soon as possible. Good luck, my thoughts will be with you both.

Yeah sounds like an ear infection.
When animals, and people, have ear infections it throws off your balance horribly.
I'd say take her to the vet.

Is she pure bred? I had to put my 15 yr old mixed Mutt to sleep because of the same problem. He started getting lost and making accidents in the house. He ate fine too. He was in pain tho. Maybe its a neurological problem. go see a vet

My dog does that same thing after she;s had a seisure. It usually lasts a couple of days after, then she;s normal again, but I would take her to the vet, it could be anything.

Vertigo? Ear mites? Go to a vet to get her checked out.
