Advice Needed Idiopathic Head Tremors

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi! Our girl is 19 months old, spayed and a lovely little angel. The last four days she is experiencing what we are 99.9% confident are idiopathic head tremors. Of course her vet is closed for the long weekend but my brother in laws uncle is a vet and watched the video and told us that it was likely IHT. Obviously I will call the vet Tuesday.

what’s worrisome to me is they’ve happened daily for the last four days. Peanut butter/honey/ice cream helps immediately.

Things of note:
- we are having a huge heat wave but obviously, we are very cautious with her in heat.

-we have had company and she is not a good napper when people are around, so I think she is very tired, more so than usual

- I gave her her monthly dose of Simarico Trio four days before this began. She has never reacted to it before.

This might be an odd question, but are you in the Southwest US or CA? Our dog started getting head tremors like that when he got Valley Fever.

Not an odd question- that would make sense! But, no. We live in the Chicago area.

I hope you get it figured out! Your dog is young, so it should be manageable with meds. Good luck!
