Head tilt, ataxia (walking drunk), and circling are signs of neurological problems. This can be due to trauma, inner ear infection, central nervous system (brain) disease, vestibular disease and other less common things. Old dog vestibular disease is a rapid onset of neurological signs in an older dog. The cause is unknown, the vestibular apparatus is affected—this affects balance and causes symptoms similar to motion sickness. Old dog vestibular disease progressively resolves over days to weeks. Hand feed your dog and make sure water is accessible. If you dog is unable to eat, drink, seems painful, or develops any other signs please see your veterinarian.

It's hard to say what it really is, because there are so many things that it can be. She could have pulled a muscle, or pinched a nerve, or even may be developing a nerve disorder. The best thing that you can do is take her in to be seen by a vet. Hopefully, it doesn't get worse before it gets better. Hope this helps, good luck.

Take her to the vet she might have pulled a muscle but to be on the safe side just take her to the vet

My pekingese dog seems to have pulled a muscle because she cries whenever she tries to turn her head to the right or lie down. What medicine can I give her for the muscle pain? Thanks

What type of collar and leash are you using?  It is recommended that you use a harness or gentle leader to avoid problems for dogs as their neck muscles can become damaged from constant pulling on a regular leash.

Better get her checked out.
