My dog walks weird, head tilted. What's wrong? Worried about vet cost.

Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Male | neutered

My dog has started walking weird lately, he acts like he is putting more weight on one side and he doesn't want to turn his head. What could be wrong with him and how can i help? I really dont have enough money right now for cat scans, MRI's or anything like that.

You'll want to visit your local Veterinarian. It's possible that treatment may not be so extensive. This could be an inner ear infection. Your doctor will perform a comprehensive exam to determine if more invasive procedures are warranted.
