Why is my dog's head shaking with a slight tremble? Is it serious?

Question

My dog is shaking her head back and forth. It's not the type of shaking where a dog's ears are flopping. It's a slight tremble back and forth. It's hard to explain without a video, so if there's some way I can send you the video, that would be great. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 22 lbs

This sounds like a neurological problem. It can be from and injury, epilepsy or an infection. You can put a video on YouTube and resend this question with the link. Also more of a description. Tell us if you are seeing this all the time or only certain times of the day. Your dog’s age and breed may help also. If this head shaking worsens then please take her in for an exam.
