My dog keeps wimpering/panting and crying at night. He shakes his head as if his ears are bothering him and keeps licking his lips and sticking his tounge back and forth.

Question

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

Hello, thank you for using PetCoach. Sorry that Jax is having this issue.

My recommendation is that you take him to a vet as soon as possible for an exam. Unfortunately his symptoms are too vague for me to pinpoint what may be the underlying cause of his illness.  He could certainly have an ear infection or a foreign body inside his ear canal. He could also have a problem with the nerve(s) that run through the ear and innervate the head/mouth/tongue.  He needs to have an exam in person by a vet so you can get to the bottom of his issue and so he can get the proper treatment. There is nothing I can recommend you do other than that at this stage with just the information you provided.

Hope this helps to give you some direction. Best wishes.
