My dog, Bandit, has been acting weird the past few days. He's been shaking his head really hard. Before, he used to do it once every few minutes, now he's doing it every minute. He also keeps rolling around the floor, almost like a guy breakdancing.
Do any of you guys know why he's doing this?

He could have a really nasty itch. Have you checked for fleas?

Not yet. Recently, my father put a dog shirt on him. Could this be a reason why?

Edit: he's also been scratching a lot lately, so I think you're right about the itch.

If he's shaking his head it might be an indicator of ear mites. Fleas would be the other suggestion.

With regard to the dog shirt, it is entirely possible it irritated his skin, especially if he's just had a haircut and the shirt rubbed him the wrong way. Otherwise, do you know if your dog has any skin allergies?

All in all, I'd say a trip to the vet is in order.

Pax et bonum,

Ear mites, ear infection, fleas, food allergies, the new shirt, etc, etc, etc. Take him to a vet.
