My dog has been suffering from an unidentified condition that started with an ear infection and has progressed to severe head pain, facial drooping, difficulty eating and drinking, and inability to open her mouth. Despite multiple treatments including antibiotics, prednisone, and IV fluids, she has not improved. Blood tests were normal, and an MRI is unaffordable. What could be causing her symptoms, and what further steps can be taken to diagnose and potentially treat her condition?

My Bernese dog has been experiencing severe digestive issues since March, including an enlarged colon filled with gas, constant pain, excessive panting, significant weight loss (from 94-96 lbs to 78 lbs), and lethargy.

What could be causing these symptoms and what further diagnostic steps should be taken?
