It is difficult to tell from the video but looks similar to what my Jake experiences from time to time.  There appears to be no rhythm or reason for when they occur although they do seem more frequent in the summertime.   He has been to a neurologist and the official diagnosis is idiopathic head tremors.........

My dachshund does something similar to this when she gets anxious because of a thunderstorm approaching or any loud noise etc.

Jane - OMD!  THANK YOU!  You have eased my mind.  I actuallly (like I said) was scared to death to even mention it before until you brought this topic up...I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.  I WISH I could do the same for you.  Hopefully, it wasn't a big deal with Stuart & just a fluke thing.  Please keep us posted.  I really care about your little guys (and everybody's doodles).  You get so attached to each other's doodles on this site!

Traci - the leg thing - not to worry  - that if pretty common.  Rooney does this at times and once in a while so will Stuart.  This has been scary but for now Stuart is having no more tremors and seems to be fine.

Gosh, Jane.  You can definitely tell.  I don't really know what to say.  Maybe just put a call in to your vet and/or wait & see if he does it again.  I would be worried too.  Bexter's front legs shake sometimes & I'm almost too scared to ask the vet about it...hoping it is no big deal & just goes away.  Hopefully, it is just a reaction to something like the bee sting or the treatment.  I would definitely mention it to the vet, though, before another treatment.  Maybe you can do something different next time.

I see it.  I can see why you are worried.  There is definitely something different going on.

Looks like some little neurological tremor to me, but that's all I can say.

OMG you can clearly see it, poor baby! I am glad he is feeling better now.

Ok, it is more noticeable in this video. I did see tremors like this in my GR and I did attribute them to her epilepsy, although her full blown seizures were much more obvious (glossy look in the eyes, incoherent, rocking/swaying back & forth, rigidity). I would continue watching him and if you notice them continuing or becoming more severe, call your vet & have him checked out. If they are in fact minor seizures he is having take comfort in the fact that he is not experiencing pain or discomfort from them. That was the most difficult thing to get over in watching Baylee have an episode. But it is certainly not uncommon for them to go right back to normal behavior. They don't remember the seizures after they happen.
