  1. So with seizures though, mine is fully aware during, doesn't urinate, etc. Still seizures no? She will also have small tremors when it's a focal but it's not often. Sometimes I believe its from low blood sugar on days she doesn't want to eat breakfast and can have them close to dinner time.

  2. Can dogs sometimes experience tremors just one time or are they usually something that they’ll deal with throughout their lifetime? My pup suffered from aggressive tremors yesterday for the 1st time and I’m terrified of it happening again😔

  3. I think this happened to my dog just about 3 minutes ago. I was sitting on my bed, and my dog was just chewing on his toy when he randomly came up to me. I thought he wanted me to play with him, but then I looked at him more, and he was shaking. I thought "Oh, it's happening again" so I ran to my parents and put him on the floor and he was shaking, staying SUPER close to the ground, and walking like a drunk. He kept trying to crawl into my lap so I could hug him, but he was having a hard time doing that. I picked him up lightly, and he was very tense. This is the third time it's happened, and it's very worrying.

  4. Thank you for this very helpful and easy to understand video. Is it in fact best to distract the dog mid idiopathic head tremor to try and stop the event, leave them alone, or either is fine? Thank you.

  5. My schnauzers back legs shake, and its been the same for a while. She is 11 but it seems to come on with exercise. It stops as she is at rest……..
    This dog is my child and having no children it breaks my heart as a man to see this. I wish we could live out life together but she will go before me. It tears me to know one day this sweet dog will go. I cannot wait to see her again, but tomorrow brings on another day I get love her. And boy do we love one another…….Bear Bear is her name! So So sweet girl!
