Hi, don't know what it is, but I got a Doberman that it happens to as well, I just open her mouth witch kinda seems to be lockedjawed sort of, and kinda press down on her tongue with my finger, sorta like the Doc does with that stick to check your throat, it works every time instantly, try it, good luck, what a sweet dog hey?
@calliegal235 The Thunder Shirt won't help in this case. Shaker syndrome is not an anxiety disorder, it appears to be neurological. The cause is unknown, but may be genetic.
Our 2 yr old maltese just started this, had 2 episodes so far in two weeks. THanks for this post, it is good to read the comments that it is curable with steroids. Vet is just going to monitor her for now. How is your dog these days?
Yes the episodes have stopped. He has a good appetite again and he's more playful. The vet has no idea what the cause is. It's so rare there is little info available.

He hasn't had a relapse in quite some time. Hopefully it's gone for good. Good luck with your little guy!

The vet put him on a steroid called Prednisone(5mg - 1/2 a tablet every 12 hours). Is your dog a Maltese too?

I have a bichon/poodle cross and she also suffers from this syndrome.
Has the medication completely stopped the episodes and do you know what causes the syndrome.
