I see the head tilt and agree that this is ear related and I think since the tilt degree is increasing, then the infection has progressed - possibly to the inner ear. The drops sometimes need to be given for up to four weeks before you will notice improvement. Question - did the vet ever do a head xray? (I can't remember if that was done or not)
More internet reading but an article I thought was good http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+2123&aid=1564 I honestly DO believe that all of Grace's twitches, tilting, etc. is caused by this ear infection. From what I have read and know, ear infections can be very tricky and sometimes the causes are even more tricky to resolve. I had no idea that allergies could be one of the causes - so addressing her allergies is a good place to start which you are doing! I think you have a good vet but IF you feel unsure, you can always take her records for another opinion elsewhere - just for peace of mind for you. I know my vet understands when I need to do this and actually, I think he appreciates it! Especially, if he feels at a loss for what ever reason. Not saying that is your case here with your vet and Grace, though. I am, again, sorry that you and your Grace are dealing with this upsetting problem but I think you are taking good care of her and keeping up with the drops because I think that is very important and for the full duration.
