Question
Hi Marie
 We have an 11 month old female english bull dog we adopted about a month ago. Yesterday and this morning after shes been awake for about 30 minutes her head starts shaking right to left for about 1-2 mins, its not like a shake to get water off its almost like a tremor? She responds to me calling her and i dont think she even knows shes shaking. Before this happened we took her to the vet and she had a bad ear infection and took her again last night. The ear infection is almost gone, and the vet said if the head shaking only happens once in awhile she may out grow it. Should we take her back and get her blood work done or wait and see if this is gonna happen all the time? We feed her Eukanuba puppy chow. Thank you!

Answer
Matt, hello and Yes, I can help you and your puppy.
Let's make some changes for this gal.  Please get her off the Eukanuba puppy food :  Do a mix of a new food and the Old food for about 10 days - then go 100% to the new food you choose.
I would like to see you place this kid on Wellness Core ( adult dog food) or Innova EVO adult dog food.

Please / a good food will help - YOUR kid had ear infections and has developed a bad obsessive compulsive head shake habit.  I bet it is just a bad habit because of the discomfort of her ears.

Here is my plan for her:
New food - from the choices above :  Let me know if you can't find them in the local pet store:

Next, a must for all my bullie clients is : PURE salmon oil - Just 1 teaspoon in the am and 1 teaspoon in the pm/ mix into the food.

Also, ******** NuVET Plus - 2 wafers per day for 10 days - then, go to 1 per day LONG term... This is an allergy blaster and Healer for the ears!  This NuVET products will help to cure the weak Immune system that has allowed all the EAR infections.
Go here and order
