Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Could it be an ear infection? I'd take him to the vet to make sure. Katie Scarkett had a minor yeast infection in one ear a few weeks ago and was shaking her head. I took her straight to the vet and got a exam and meddies.

| 11 weeks. This just started... At first he was whining and we couldn't figure out what was wrong. He's not shaking his head as much now, but it still bothers me. Whatever it is, it's still bothering him... Should I call my vet tomorrow? What could it be?? |

| Has he been eating regularly today? Shaking head can be a symptom of hypoglycemia. Do you have any Nutri-cal or Karo syrup at home? If it's not from lack of eating, low-blood sugar, I would definately get him to the vet for checkup to find out what it is.

| Yes, he's ate regualarly today. Hasn't acted abnormal at all. I believe it's mostly stopped now, but I'm a paranoid parent, so I'll be calling our vet tomorrow just to see if they want to check him out. I HOPE it's nothing serious! |

| When we got Kyra she would do that and paw at her ears. The vet checked for infection and mites and said it was most likely because she was teething. I would call just to be safe though
