Is Stuart having a reaction? Please watch the video!

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

I should have put it here but it is in the video section.  I might add that Stuart ate all his dinner and is playing like a crazy puppy with his brother at the moment.  Seems fine except for the shaking of his head.

 

 

Stuart has been napping this afternoon and as I just walked past him I noticed that his head was shaking - kind of like a back and forth, palsy sort of thing.  He was awake with his eyes open.  He now is acting "off".  Not as much energy.

The two things that I can place the blame on is

1.  yesterday a.m. he got his flea and tick application but that has been 30 hours ago. 

2.  then this a.m. at about 8:00 we went to the dog park and he got stung on the lip by a honey bee. 

3.  oh and lets add it to the mix the "dreaded zap from the fence.

Any ideas?

Just watched the video, it isn't really showing on camera well....but I do have to ask "who is this big dog and what have you done with Stuart?"

Jane is this after the pool or before?

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

He is playing like nothing is wrong - he ate all his dinner and is running like a crazy puppy.  This is after he was in the pool where he was running and jumping.  The flea and tick was put on over 30 hours ago - wouldn't it of caused a problem before now?

Not necessarily.  It takes up to 24 hours to distribute over the body.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

This was after the pool (watch that video - so cute) and after dinner.  This was the 2nd time that I had noticed the shaking within about an hour.

Jane, does stuart have his collar on for the e-fence?

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

No his does not have his collar on AND I loaded the wrong video - go watch again.

I don't have anything to add except to say that I hope that the shaking was short-lived and that by now Stuart's fine.  Will be looking for an up-date from you soon...

Jane, I just watched the video, and I feel very comfortable saying that's not a seizure; not even a partial seizure. Clearly, something's bothering him, but you can rule a seizure out.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

It has been pretty stressful the last two days.  The e-fence, the flea meds, the bee sting.  He is acting great right now BUT momma is keeping a close eye on my baby!!!!  I LOVE my boy.

Jane - I agree with Karen, I would rule out a seizure.  Even if it was you are not going to do anything if this is the only incident. 

 

even if it is a reaction to the flea and tick medication washing it off now probably will not help as it is already absorbed.

 

My advise would be to keep an eye on him. 

[F, Calla & Luca]

I'm not positive.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

We have scrubbed as directed!!!  Lets hope that that will take care of it.  We won't be putting the flea and tick on again.
