My dog can't walk straight and seems confused after ear infection.

Middle ear infection would be the most common cause for these symptoms at this age, but there is a small chance that it could be a brain condition as well. if she is not responding to the antibiotic treatment i believe taking her to a specialist is the right thing to do.

No, this does not sound normal. The ear infection may have affected her middle or inner ear, causing Star to have problems walking and with her balance. She should be ok until the morning, I would have her stay in a crate tonight so that she doesn't fall off something and hurt herself. I would bring her back into the vet in the morning. I hope this helps!

No it should not cause paralysis but it can cause severe balance issues on one side, meaning she will always fall on this side, the limbs of the affected side will still be able to move though. after 5 weeks of antibiotics i would expect seeing a significant improvement assuming the correct antibiotic was chosen for the condition.

I would be worried about a potential inner ear infection. Other ear infections can progress to inner ear infections which are painful, can result in hearing loss and balance issues. It is possible that the head tilt is the first sign that the balance Centers are being affected. I would advise taking Dahlia back in to the vet.

I would recommend having Dobby examined by a vet to determine what is going on. Balance is controlled by the vestibular part of the brain. Inner ear infections can cause issues with balance as well. A thorough physical, ear, and neurologic examination will help clue your vet into the cause of the balance issues.

Without actually looking into the ear with an otoscope it is not possible to tell you what the cause of this discharge is. It could be anything from an ear infection , to a ruptured abscess, to an ulcerated cancerous growth, to a ruptured ear drum. Please take Your dog to a vet , as the unsteadiness does point to some inner ear problem.

Hi. Poor Bo Luke. Sounds like he most likely has an ear infection. Sometimes these can be in the middle or inner ear, or be bad enough to spread there from outter ear. This can then cause pain, lethargy, swelling, head tilting, and walking as if drunk/ to one side. He will need an exam, ear exam, ear cytology to see if yeast or bacterial, then put on the correct medications, and pain medications! With these signs, I would take him to ER tonight. He is pprobably pretty uncomfortable. Good luck
