Hi, don't know what it is, but I got a Doberman that it happens to as well, I just open her mouth with 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?
Il mio labrador ha iniziato a tremare a 2 anni circa ed io risolvo con le vitamine, appena inizia a tremare inizio a dargliene per circa 1 mese di seguito già dal giorno dopo non trema più.
My daughters dog just started this and she took him to an animal neurologist at a animal hospital. The bottom line is that its a stress disorder that is usually triggered by a change in environment. It is not dangerous nor is there any cure. She was told to just try to distract the dog to get him out of this mode when it starts. The Vet that looked at the dog told us that shes seen this many, many times over the years and knew exactly what it was.
My 3 year old dog developed whole body tremors. He got so bad that he couldn't walk or contol his bladder. Took him to a specialist after the vet told me he probably just strained a muscle. The specialist put him on corticosteroids (specifically prednisone), and he continues to improve. Diagnosis was idiopathic tremor syndrome also called shaker syndrome. It's chronic but is treatable.
For those of you worried your dogs are doing this too... I believe my dog had the idiopathic head tremors. I am not a vet but I have found playing with my dog stops his! As soon as I see him starting a tremor I grab his ball, get him all excited, throw it and when he goes after the ball the tremors stop. You might want to try engaging your dog in play to see if it stops the tremor while it is happening. From what I have found they don't hurt the dog or effect the dogs health.
her eyes look scared to me, maybe it is some quirk that was passed down from the earlier generation of dogs. Or, all of this cross breeding finally created this shaking. it also could be a tumor, there is a video about one of these head shaking dogs having a tumor.
@fallinglacier ok, maybe it is possessed when it does that, because the eyes just don't look natural, the reat of the body is fine, and other dogs stay away. maybe they know that what is happening to the dog is unnatural and their instincts tell them to stay away.
your dogs look like theyre about ready to explode onto your cabinets and counters. they need to release some energy. getting more affectionate with them or picking him up and in a comforting way, put lay them back down on the ground. i hope this calms him down. getting a better diet should also help. if you as a person were experiencing this head shake syndrome, how would you cope with it and have someone else help you?
My dog has been doing this for a little over a month now. I tried to explain it to the vet and she wanted me to film it but my cell phone didn't work so I had nothing to show. Thanks for posting this because now I have something to reference. I'm hoping this is all it is and not something worse!
my 1 yr old black lab started doing this exact thing today. so far he has done it 3 times! each times last between 2 and 4 min. does anyone know of anything we can do? he is like one of our own children. i beg for help
My Pitt mix Ginny does this. Our vet said you can spend thousands of dollars and never find out for sure why it's happening. The dog only seems slightly confused by what's happening (or maybe it my response to whats happening). The vet says to just keep an eye on her and try not to worry. Unlike seizures, these tremors get NO response from our other dogs. It is seen alot more in bulldog and bulldog type breeds
I have to throw in that my boxer has the up and down episodes, too. Seems common in boxers! We've done the complete blood panel, EKG, and chest x-rays. She 3 1/2 and has had two episodes 3 weeks apart. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. My Aussie has had two of these episodes about 3 months apart. I will ask my Vet to watch this video along with another video of a Aussie / BC mix with the same thing. He's a rescue and I'm guessing he's about 1-2 years old.
@uilleannpipes - Hi, my two and a half year old female golden retriever just started having these things. Have you figured out what is causing them? It's scary - she has had about 6 episodes in the past month - is there any long term damage? thanks, alan kaye
@alanckaye Never figured out what caused these episodes. Brenna hasn't had one in probably 2 years or more now. I haven't seen any long term damage - Brenna is still very energetic and thinks she's 2 (she's 8).
My 11 year old Lab, Kallie, has had these since she was about 2. My vet has never come up with a reason, figures they are some type of seizure.
For years I've thought my dog was the only one who has this problem. And trying to explain it to the vet, I don't think she really understands what I'm describing.
My boxer does this, except up and down. Isnt it nice to know you are not the only one seeing this, and it's nothing too serious. I freaked the first time, I thought he was going to die from a brain tumor or something.
Thanks for posting this. My Boxer has just started suffering from the same problem. Being able to view and see other dogs doing the same thing helps me to more clearly share his problem with my vet. Currently I'm trying to get a video of my boy while having one of these tremors. But at least if I can't get one I can show my veterinarian your video to help me explain what he is doing.
I'm pleased to say from what I hear this is NOT life threatening. Thank Goodness! Hugs to your precious girl.
