There is also a left-sided head tilt.

VIDEO 2: Spontaneous horizontal nystagmus with fast phase to the right in a cat
In this case the lesion localization would typically be to the left vestibular system (slow phase towards the side of the lesion).

VIDEO 3: A dog with bilateral vestibular disease displaying a crouched, wide-based stance and reluctance to move
There are also wide head excursions from one side to the other.
