and i found this on another dog forum:

A syndrome called “idiopathic head tremor”, for lack
of a better name, has been recognized in dogs.
Dobermans are most commonly affected, with English
bulldogs being also common. Other breeds can also be
affected.

Signs consist of an intermittent tremor of the head. This
can be an up-and-down movement or a side-to-side
movement. The tremor starts and stops spontaneously.
The dogs are alert and responsive during the tremor
and are able to walk normally. In some cases,
distracting the dog, for example with food, can stop the
tremor.

Diagnostic testing, including CT/MRI, spinal fluid
analysis, and EEG are typically normal. Affected dogs
do not develop other neurologic signs. There is no
treatment but the episodes sometimes eventually stop.

This has been discussed among neurologists and
nobody really agrees on the nature of these episodes.
They may be focal seizures, but they rarely respond to
anti-seizure drugs. Another theory is that this is a
movement disorder. A behavior disorder, such as
stereotypy has also been postulated. I have seen
related Dobermans affected, suggesting there may be a
genetic component.

Jen so sorry to hear about Indie ..what a nasty shock for you (hug), the cause could be a number of things ..if it is epilepsy that is not so bad and easily controlled, I know of a number of dogs with this....

Here is a Dogweb article on the subject of epilepsy . http://www.dogweb.co.uk/talkdogs/liv...psy_14937.html
please keep updating us on Indies progress won't you

An old friend of mine had a dog with epilepsy and together they managed it really well. The dog (a lab) had an active life however once he took a seizure he had to rest for a while and be kept calm and secure.

What you have described reminds me of how daisy was about two years ago. She took a fit like this, then nothing for about a year, then another one. I took her to the vets who said just to keep an eye on her. Nothing since then. Good luck.x

a neighbour s dog had that,and he had a totally normal life, its controlable with medication, good luck anyway.

Keeping fingers crossed for you and Indy,hope everything turns out OK.

Hope all works out okay for Indie,

Oh Jenny

I'm so sorry. Poor Indie

How is she now??

I would still get a neurologist to look at her, just to rule things out, you know?

Hugs for you..

You know where I am if you need a chat.

Jenny what a horrible time for you.

Sending you and Indie lots of love.

Hope you and Indie are coping ok.

I would see a Neurologist to TBH just to be on the safe side, but those links do sound the same as what Indie has. Try and stay positive, at least you know she isn't suffering at all.

Hope it all comes ok for Indie!!
