Black Lab and Head Tremors

I understand what Buster has been going through.
Our black lab Bailey has been having head tremors for the last year (exactly like your video)

We caught hers on tape, and were finally able to show our vet. (so they didn't think that we were crazy).

We have an appointment with a neurologist at MedVet in July- they were scheduling like 2 months out. We have had a full blood work up, and nothing was found.

A common thread that I have seen is:
-She had surgery not too long before this happened
-She is on Interceptor

She had had a horrible accident where she scalped herself and the point of impact was near the neck... so for a while we thought that might have caused these tremors- like a pinched nerve or something.

We have basically thrown out that theory. We also can get the tremors to stop by having her strech her neck by following a treat.

Our vet has been reading up on idiopathic head tremors in large breed dogs and thinks that is what this is. The good news is it seems like there is nothing at all that causes these tremors.

I'll keep you posted on what the neurologist says.
