Yes. If she has an ear infection, this could have progressed to vestibular disease, a disease of the inner ear. This can cause stroke-like symptoms (head tilt, facial paralysis, one sided weakness, drooling, etc). I would go ahead and give the vet a call and see if he wants to try a broader spectrum antibiotic, just in case.
