shaking head?

Buns can shake their heads for many reasons. I'm not an absolute expert, so hopefully someone else will come along who knows more, but there are a couple of reasons I can think of:
- Sometimes buns shake their heads when they are happy or excited, like before they do a binky (at least mine do :lol
- Another reason could be a problem with their ears, for example itchy mites or something like that. Perhaps you could have a little look down her ears to see if you can see any redness etc. She may need to see the vet.
Hopefully someone else may have some other ideas too.

These were the two things I was going to say. Nutmeg will run off shaking her head when she's been naughty :roll: cos she finds it tremendous fun but by the same token one of the symptoms of Mischa's ear infection a few months ago was him shaking his head. Mischa looked different cos you could almost tell something was troubling him and the way he did it was as if he was trying to get something out.
