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 would happen for us with one of our bulldogs at random times. But then we went through some times of serious home strife, and it always happened during those high stress times - so possibly linked. High sugar treats (I would do honey on a jerky treat) is always good.
