[MENTION=2156]Rosiesmom[/MENTION] From the description, I agree with alot of people on here, that it sounds more like idiopathic head tremors. They are very common in bulldogs and I'm astounded that your vet doesn't know what one is when it's right there in front of them!!!! I suggest another vet could be something to look into!!!
Nobody really knows for sure what actually causes a head tremor ... there are some who feel it is linked to low blood sugar, and there are those of us who have experienced it when the bully becomes over-stimulated. [MENTION=900]KMARINO[/MENTION] had this with Vegas when he wanted his stinky toy!!! With Maggie it's when she thinks she's going to get a treat. I'm posting a link to the video that I made ... I'm asking her if she wants a baby carrot. I've stopped asking her if she wants a treat now, and I just give it to her instead. However, I can still be in the kitchen making dinner and look round to find Maggie sat behind me shaking her head like this because she's decided that she's gonna get something!!!

Let me know if this is what Rosie was doing .. if it was then I'd put my money on it being a head tremor and unfortunately there's nothing you can do about them!!
