@JojoTheJoCpuMaster her shots are up to date. she's an indoor dog, is it possible for her to get worms? i mean we do take her outside to do her thing & sometimes for walks. i don't think she's in any pain when she twitches cuz i dont hear her yelp & she doesnt look traumatized from it. she just can't control it at times, and the twitches only happens for 1 sec at the longest. i'll see if i can squeeze in an appointment with my vet tomorrow to check her for worms. thanks for the advice.

@rkenshin0922 There is many possible reasons. And you should do anything just so that dog can get better. I wonder if she feels any type of pain when she twitches. Don't be too scared to have her checked for worms because it's better to have her problem fixed. And the seizures is not really common, but it could happen. It's worth the risk.

@JojoTheJoCpuMaster she's a pomeranian. the neurologist said a brain tumor is least likely with that breed. maybe she has worms, so i might get her checked for that tomorrow. its been almost since this started. she runs around the house like nothing is wrong. and no, she's not spazzing and hitting themselves on the wall, just twitches. sometimes it's subtle & sometimes you can really see it. im scared to have her checked for worms cuz i heard the medication for that actually causes seizures

@JojoTheJoCpuMaster thanks man. i cut the dosage in half and asked my vet if that was ok since the neurologist won't be available until tuesday. since cutting the dosage, she doesn't look high anymore. i think she almost OD'd one night, and thats when i made the decision to cut the dosage. she still twitches everyday, but i'm noticing a slight improvement during peak hours of the medicine. i've tried to do research on dogs twitching while drinking or eating and i can't find anything on it.

@rkenshin0922 Wow. :\ Im really sorry. As dogs get older more problems can happen. It also depends on your breed. I have a maltese. I havent had any problems yet except he's afraid of dogs and of rain (rain is normal). Twitching constantly isnt normal. I have heard of dogs just spazzing out and hitting themselves on the wall. I hope thats not happening with your dog. If so, she really needs to see the vet. It may be a habit or something serious. It might have to do with a nerve.

@JojoTheJoCpuMaster and you are right, 12 is not that old at all. im really out of ideas here man. she's not in pain when she twitches. she just has a surprised look sometimes like "wtf just happened to me" look. i guess i'll see in 2 weeks. we're scheduled to come back on the 28th to see if doing using phenobarbital in the morning and night helped. i hate giving it to her cuz it slows down her movement, and she sometimes looks high when on it...

@JojoTheJoCpuMaster the weird thing is, it just started happening late august. certain sounds will make her twitch or while she's drinking water. i am hoping, at the least that it is old age. ive done tons of research and i dont even know what to look for anymore. the neurologist said it could be a number of things, but of course u have to do testing to find out, and i honestly don't want to put my dog through all them testing. its not a money issue, i just don't want her to be in pain...

@rkenshin0922 Ha ha ha. Yes I'm pretty sure it's because of old age. Don't you see elderly people? Yeah. :) 12 years old is not that old. It's probably something that she has. Like some people have habits, maybe your dog has a habit of twitching, I mean... you never know. Dogs are almost like humans. Even if they can't talk, or walk in two legs.

@JojoTheJoCpuMaster she also twitches from certain sounds. like opening the door or closing my gate or my parking brake. i dont know, maybe its just old age? but she's only 12...

@JojoTheJoCpuMaster thanks jojo. i just came from the neurologist & she said everything seems to be fine. she's not sure if its a seizure or not, but to test things out, she suggested doubling the phenobarbital. 1 tablet in the morning & 1 at night. each tablet is 16 mg. i really hope this doesnt mess up my dog's liver. i really don't think its a seizure. it happens about 8-12 times a day, she'd twitch for a second & go back to whatever she was doing. happens a lot when she's drinking water
