@Sheena how is Daisy now hun? Xxx

She still has them. Its not every day but its still frequent... And it just breaks my heart. Ive been doing what ever one says and just try to distract her with a treat or call her name and have her follow me. It helps at the time. But she will still have them :(

Oh nooo. I don't have any experience with them but I want to offer my support too. That would be hard to watch & I can't imagine you could get used to it.

Not that Ive noticed. She is not stressed out by any means.. Ive been home for the last three days so shes happy as a lark. And the allergies, I dont think so... shes not showing any signs... Well unless excessive shedding is one... Its crazy.. She should not have hair left... but shes as thick as ever lol!

She is probably blowing her coat... Normally happens twice a year. Do you have a Kong Zoom Groom? They work great, but use it in an area that you can easy clean up or outside. When I use for Banks it is like a snow storm.

thing with the tremors is, they are for unknown reasons, but keep a journal or mRk the calendar.... You MIGHT be able to get some understanding as to why or when, but you can not stop or prevent... Just address when it happens

Agnes gets head tremors once in a while. They have become more infrequent lately. She tends to get them either when she is very tired or when she is already sleeping. I usually say her name and wake her up for a second to snap her out of it. The first time it happened i was terrified but then i got on here and read all about them. I also called my vet who identified it right away based on what i said and they confirmed everything i read on here- harmless, unexplained, and very common in the breed. They still make me feel uneasy but I try to think about how they are harmless.
