    Is it seizures?

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    I had a hound who did this also, random head /neck spasms. We tried NSAIDs with no avail. Also tried chiro and homeopathic remedies. Nothing helped. I finally took him to a University Vet school where he recieved a MRI. He was diagnosed with hemangeosarcoma that had spread to his lungs. It was hard to to video because it was so erratic and if  I pointed my camera at him for long he became nervous.  When he was seen by the Dr. at the vet school he had his spasms when she lightly touched his face whiskers with a cotton tipped applicater. She was looking for neurological issues.

    I hope this not the case for your hound. It was so odd because no one I spoke to had ever heard of this behavior. He was prescribed gabapentin and prednisone which helped a lot for the time we had left.

    Please keep us updated and good luck.

    I am so very sorry for your loss of Eureka. You have a very big  heart.

    It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my Heart with them. And every time a new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their Heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my Heart will be Dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.
