My dog keeps whinning and wont sleep . She scratches and tilts her head sideways and acts like she is having a spasm in her upper leg near her front right chest when she does it. She has a slipped disk but i have given her her meds the dr gave me and she is still doing this

I recommend to call your vet and tell them what is happening. It sounds like she is still uncomfortable. She may need a change in medications or additional therapy like acupuncture. Also have her ear checked for infection. Make sure you are strictly restricting her activity. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
