Honey

Just after posting this Porthos had another one. I tried the honey and that stopped the head shaking immediately. He did have just a little residual jaw clamping (for lack of a better term) that I had not seen before but that only lasted about 3 second. However he had another soon after that, a little more honey, stopped right away. Again a little after that another. I was afraid to give any more honey because I don't want to mess up his blood sugar and I don't know how much I can give him. It lasted about a total of 3 min stopping and starting. Then he started yet another a few min later so I tried the toy thing. So far... it has helped. He played and the tremors stopped. So my thought is maybe exercise helps. How much do you guys play, walk, etc your dogs that have this. When you exercise them more does it seam to lessen the duration or onset of episodes? Does anyone else have a dog that has them as often as Porthos? I'm so glad I found this site!
