Hello All!
I am a new English bulldog momma as we fostered one with heartworm, fell in love and adopted him. We've had him since August (he's estimated to be 1 1/2 yrs), and in the past month or so we have noticed head tremors, the first time rushed him to the vet very concerned. All blood tests came back normal and everything then I started to do some research as I'm sure everyone does, and I am finding this to be a common problem.Our vet recommended medicating him (not happening, and also going to find a new vet).
It has happened twice in the past 4 days while we have been home to experience it. They last anywhere from 2-8 minutes. We try to distract Brutus with peanut butter, or honey. But I would rather they not happen at all.
I was wondering if there was any remedy anyone has found that works for their dogs to stop them from even starting. I read that feeding them frozen yogurt with honey a couple times a week has stopped a couple dogs from having issue. I found a natural recipe online that I was going to make and try with him.
Any help is greatly appreciated, it seems to just be an annoyance and no real pain is felt, but its hard to watch and I'd rather him not go through them anymore!
Thanks!
Heather
