i agree with paige. my pup did this with a lose tooth when he was losing baby teeth. one was kinda stuck and driving him nutty. yanked it and he was a happy boy
If the dog's head direction is up and down, it might mean "yes". If it's left and right, it might mean "no".
Excessive head shaking can be indicative of multiple things, but check first for ear infection! If your pup has stinky ears, is scratching more than usual, has blood or discharge coming from the ears, or has matted fur in the ear canal these are all potentially pointing to an ear infection!
