What are Head Tremors?
This condition is considered idiopathic because the cause is still unknown. There are many theories about possible causes of head shaking such as seizures, nervous system disorders, or head injuries. According to the veterinary care professionals, head tremors are not usually related to any other symptoms, although some dogs have shown signs of other illnesses in addition to head tremors. These may or may not be related to head tremors. This condition is usually seen more often in immature to middle aged dogs and some breeds are more susceptible than others. Head tremors have also been suspected as being reason for the condition called white dog shaker syndrome.
Head tremors (idiopathic tremor syndrome) in dogs are characterized as an involuntary side to side or up and down movement of the head. The movement has been referred to as a head bob like a bobble head doll. Head tremors have also been compared to Parkinson’s disease in humans. It is not a voluntary shake of the head as with ear itching or infections. Some of the breeds most often reported as having head tremors include Boxers, Spaniels, Chow Chows, Samoyeds, Doberman Pinschers, Labrador Retrievers, Dalmatians, Pitbulls, and Bulldogs.
Symptoms of Head Tremors in Dogs
The symptoms of head tremor in dogs include:
- Head bobbing back and forth (similar to bobble-head doll)
- Shaking head up and down (like saying yes)
- Shaking head (like saying no)
Types
- Cerebellar head tremors (intention tremors) can be related to damage to the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain that controls coordination; these are usually noticed when your dog is intending to do something such as reaching to his food or water bowl
- Toxin related head tremors are caused by the ingestion of some toxins such as rat poison, slug or snail baits, or compost
- Drug related head tremors have been reported in dogs that have ingested certain drugs like antidepressants, amphetamines, and anti-emetics
- Idiopathic head tremors are the most common and include any form of head tremors in which the cause is unknown
Causes of Head Tremors in Dogs
The most common head tremors have an unknown cause, but there are other types of head tremors that have certain causes such as:
- Hereditary
- Injury or trauma to the head
- Certain medications
- Extreme pain
- Renal (kidney) disorders
- Low blood sugar
- Low calcium level
- Toxicity from chemicals or plants
- Central nervous system (CNS) disease
- Swelling of the brain
Diagnosis of Head Tremors in Dogs
Diagnosing head shaking is extremely difficult to diagnose, especially when it is idiopathic. However, the veterinarian will do this by excluding other causes and narrowing it down. The first step is to perform a comprehensive physical examination. This usually includes a complete assessment of your dog’s entire body, including vital signs, auscultation, and palpation.
The veterinarian will also need your dog’s complete medical history and immunization records. Be sure to mention any medications you have given him. Laboratory tests are done next, which usually include a complete blood count, blood urea nitrogen, blood sugar, urinalysis, fecal examination, and electrolyte analysis. Finally, your veterinary care provider will get some head and spinal x-rays and possibly do a CT scan, MRI, and ultrasound.
Treatment of Head Tremors in Dogs
Treatment for head tremors involves addressing the underlying illness or condition your veterinarian finds. This may be medical or surgical, depending on the cause.
Medical
If your dog is suffering from some sort of treatable condition of the cerebellum, the veterinarian may prescribe an anticonvulsant drug such as potassium bromide, diazepam, or phenobarbital or an immunosuppressive dose of corticosteroids. If your dog is suffering from a toxin or drug ingestion, an emetic will usually be used to induce vomiting and an antidote will be given, if available. Intravenous fluids are given to flush the system and prevent dehydration. Mannitol may be given for CNS problems. Kidney disorders may be treated with medication or surgery, depending on the case.
Surgical
If your dog has a CNS condition or cerebellum damage, a surgical approach may be the best option. In some cases, the pressure may need to be relieved from the brain and the veterinarian may place a shunt to redirect the fluid.
Hospitalization
If your dog is having trouble breathing or needs to be stabilized, the veterinarian may admit him to the hospital until he is stable. The length of stay depends on your dog’s condition and the cause of the head tremors.
Recovery of Head Tremors in Dogs
While head tremors may seem like a serious condition, in the majority of cases it is an idiopathic tremor that is not dangerous and probably bothers you more than your dog. In fact, he may not even know it is happening. However, if your dog has a serious condition or needs surgery, his prognosis depends on the case. Generally, the overall prognosis is good.

My puppy has been seeming off the past few days. He always has his head down and breathes heavily all the time... it’s almost like he’s scared or traumatized. I don’t know. He’s a puppy that usually has so much energy. He could possibly be depressed but I wouldn’t know why because we give him love and affection all the time. It’s all just making me worried.

Hi, my puppy Dakota is 5 months old and yesterday we noticed that she had a tremor (head shaking in a ‘no’ direction) in her puppy lessons as she was lying down. She’s had two more today and nothing really brings it on that’s we’ve noticed. As a new puppy owner this is really making me nervous.

My almost 9yr old boxer just appeared to start head tremors last night and had 3 more episodes today. He had an appt with the vet and she stated that after watching it, it looked like a seizure and to get him a MRI. The past 2 episodes hes had today, I was able to snap him out of it in a shorter amount of time with food and calling him to go outside. He only seems to do it when he is resting and is still alert to respond to different signals or his name. Any advice? Do only younger dogs get these idiopathic tremors? (According to the vet, it only happens in younger dogs) needing advice on where to go next.

My American bull/pit mix has recently started head tremors at night when getting ready for bed. When I talk to him he’s responsive and when I let his head it stops. It makes me very nervous but doesn’t seem to bother him or affect him. Are they any things I can do to help him or should I just accept that this is ok. He’s in perfect health in every other way. Thank you for your help in advance!!

My puppy is normally very rambunctious and usually wild. Today he appears to be very listless, almost lethargic. He's been very quiet. He has been like this all day. Then all of a sudden he began bobbing his head like a bobble head. It doesn't seem to stop. About ten minutes ago he vomited. I don't know if he ate something outside as he tends to find things and eats them. I'm incredibly worried as he is quite young and not acting like his normal self. I'm concerned and want to know if my puppy is okay. I want to know if this is normal.

Hello, my husky is 15 weeks old. She is having head tremors when she is resting and looking straight out or up at me (standing, sitting or laying down). The head tremor is like a fast slight nodding as she leans her body slightly back. It is accompanied by twitching in one of her eyes or both. This lasts a few seconds and she will often repeat it 2-3 times. She will usually put her head down after this or open her mouth and yawn. Other times, the twitching looks like her eyelids are fluttering as she leans back, which makes it look like she's fighting sleep. I used to think she was just tired, but she has been doing this more frequently, about every 15 minutes when she's awake. She is not whining, not scratching at her ears, nor exhibiting any other symptoms. What could this be?

Parkinson's symptoms first appeared when I was 68. I noticed a vibration in right foot and then right hand. After about 18 months a shake and/or tremor. Twelve months later, shaking. My neurologist. Started me on entacapone,levodopa, carbidopa, and pramipexole to reduce symptoms and slow down progression but I could not tolerate them for long due to severe side effects. I decided to adopt a more natural approach and started on Parkinson’s Disease Herbal formula from Green House Herbal Clinic, the PD natural formula immensely helped my condition, i had a total recovery from Parkinson’s disease with this natural herbal formula treatment. Visit Green House Herbal Clinic official web site ww w. greenhouseherbalclinic. Weebly. com. I feel alive again! The tremors, Shaking, Joint Stiffness and other symptoms has subsided.

Head Tremors. My English Bulldog who is female and 10yrs old has suffered from these since she was 1yr old. They were very random and spread out. She was recently been dx with Canine Vestibular Disease, hypothyroidism, and elevated liver enzymes. Kidney blood work and everything else was normal. The tremors are coming more frequent the last week or so. She is having 4-5 a day. Usually last 2-3 min but sometimes 10+ minutes. Any suggestions?

English Bulldogs are one breed which are prone to a condition called Idiopathic Head Tremors; idiopathic meaning ‘we don’t know why it occurs’. There is no direct test to confirm, only ruling out other causes with neurological exams and radiology studies; it is a diagnosis of exclusion. There is no treatment which reduces the symptoms of idiopathic head tremors, but other causes which may be found during a workup may have better treatment options. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM

I have a Lab and she just turned 12 and also starting having these tremors with her head shaking when she was around 1 now in the last month she has been getting them more often like 4-6 times a day. When I see it happening I give her a piece of cheese or peanut butter and it stops. Not sure if it is because I took her mind off of it or what?
Our lab,6 and a half, had one last week, tonight 3 so far. Has us totally freaked out, going to vet tom. but from what I'm reading that probably won't help. She doesn't seem to be in any pain. But we are!

My 10 year old Collie who was displaying some difficulty walking sometimes suddenly Sunday morning developed head tremor shaking as if she was saying no for about 30 minutes. She let me lay her down and pet her and it slowly stopped.Her heart was racing and she was drooling. I just happened to have an appointment the following morning with her Vet for a lyme test due to her limping and lyme test was negative. I told the vet about it and he said it could be vertigo related.

Thank you very much, that's the exact advice my personal vet gave was to try and video it on the phone. After Sunday she's been fine playful and back to eating normal and her lyme/heartworm test were negative. She's getting her annual physical next month and he's going to due full blood work up then.

I have a 9 year old Doberman/Shepherd mix. He has been to a neurologist, and was diagnosed with idiopathic head tremors. He went almost all winter without having one, now that it’s warming up, the tremors are starting again. Is there any correlation to weather/allergies and tremors? He is on a grain free diet. He was initially diagnosed with seizures, and given Keppra by our normal vet (Keppra didn’t help at all), then he was taken to the neurologist.

He has been to the vet who tested for numerous things including Lymes ( which came back negative). She also said it could be something of a slipped disk since he bunny hips up the stairs. But he seems even more lethargic today. He was running around happy as a clam a dog friday and went south quickly. We just aren’t sure what the next step should be.

I have a 10 year old Husky that I just saw for the first time ever experience head shaking. It lasted about a minute and it was when someone came into the house that she likes. She seemed responsive during the episode but the head shaking was an involuntary motion. I went over and held her face and she looked at me and it continued for a little before it stopped. She is up to date with all of her vaccinations and takes glucosamine and condroitin supplements but she hasn't been on any flea and tick prevention for the past two months. She does get fed table scraps by people in the household pretty often. No past heath concerns or issues. I am worried especially due to her age and the fact that this has never happened before.

I have a 2 1/2 year old French Bulldog who was diagnosed with MegaEsophagus when she was 3 weeks old....Through trial and error we have been successful in managing her illness. She is not on meds, she eats Wellness Simple Turkey and Potato wet food mixed with water which is spoon fed to her while she is in a Bailey chair...she stands in the chair for 35-40 minutes following each meal (twice/day). She sleeps with a neck hug on...she has done really well despite having this disease. But, ever since we have had her (since she was 12 weeks) she has had this jerking motion of her head to the left. It's as if she is looking over her shoulder except that she does it multiple times before it seems to stop for awhile only to start again. When she is resting I do not see her do this, but the entire time she is awake and active she had this jerking motion. I know that MG can also be common in dogs with ME...is that jerking a symptom of MG? What is another explanation?

My female Galgo(Spanish Greyhound) has her head shake or bob at least once a day. At most it happens 2 - 3 times a day. It has me wonder why she does this?
We have had a male dog who had epileptic seizures due to a heart condition which he was born with. Lena's head shaking slightly resembles the first signs of our passed dog's seizures, and got me worried. She has a difficult past behind her. She was rescued from a hunter in Spain, who kept Lena only to have her produce litters until she became useless and was abandoned. She has clear marks of past injuries and has poor line of sight. However, only possible damage to her head in the past is just a bite mark on her snout, so I can't determine if she has suffered any possible damage to her head as in her scalp area. I have also noted, that she has a bad tartar condition on her teeth. Could it be possible that pressure caused by a bad dental condition could have something to do with the issue also?

I have a 2 year old Brittany Spaniel. He got a skin growth surgically removed on his chin/neck area last week with the outcome of 3 stitches. Yesterday we started noticing head tremors randomly. His behavior doesn’t seem to be effected. He’s acting like his normal rambunctious self, but the tremors are worrisome. Could they be related to the surgery? Or perhaps he hate something toxic outside. We live in south Florida so he loves to hunt for lizards and things.

I decided to adopt a more natural approach and started on Parkinson’s Disease Herbal formula from Green House Herbal Clinic, the PD natural formula immensely helped my condition, i had a total recovery from Parkinson’s disease with this natural herbal formula treatment. Visit Green House Herbal Clinic official web site ww w. greenhouseherbalclinic. Weebly. com. I feel alive again! The tremors, Shaking, Joint Stiffness and other symptoms has subsided. I am very pleased with this treatment. I feel very well now and exercise regularly, sometimes i totally forget i ever had Parkinson’s, My family are amazed at the change and rapid recovery from PD. since the procedure I enjoy walking the dog for my daily exercise. DON’T GIVE UP HOPE!!!

I have a 1&1/2 year old English bulldog who showed signs of a idiopathic head tremor last night, we didn’t know what it was at first so we took him to the vet and they treated him for arrhythmia because his heart rate was over 200. They did a ECG on him, everything normal. He’s due to see a cardiologist in a few days, but the head tremors happened again tonight. Is there a correlation between the tremors and his heart rate being so high? Could it be an arrhythmia or just eleveated because it was his first time experiencing the head tremor and maybe he was afraid or anxious?

I have a Doberman that is 18 months old. We have recently in the past couple of months noticed the sporadic head tremors. There doesn't seem to be any other symptoms other that the shaking head. last night was the worst one as he was slobbering a bit. Once my husband talked to him and gave him a treat he was fine. Any suggestions?

Hi - I have a 7 year old Jack Russell who was diagnosed with epilepsy at 2. She’s on phenobarbital and libromide to control her seizures. She’s recently developed these head nodding episodes - they can last for 10 minutes to a couple of hours - they are every couple of days now. She responds to her name and can walk around. She’s been to the Vets and they’ve recommended her to see a neurologist for a MRI scan. In your experience would you link this to a brain tumor? Many thanks!

My dog is an old girl she is 17. I know she is near the end and that she doesn’t have long left 😥but she has developed this odd head shake that sounds like head tremors or brain zapping and panting on and off. What I want to know is: Is she in pain? Does it give them a headache? I do not want to cause her stress by taking her to the vet unless I absolutely have to.

My dog Diesel, just started having having head shakes this morning... Doesn't seem in pain or irritated. Responds to me when i call his name. But they've been on and off when hes relaxed for the past 30minutes. He has also been refusing to eat the past 3-4 days.. We figured it was just him wanting people food (he gets our leftovers sometimes). Its starting to scare me a little bit.. As theyeve been almost continuous unless hes being active. Should we take him in? We don't really have the money to take him to the vet right now....Any advice would be great!

My dog started having these tremors, side to side, this evening. She responds when spoken to and they stop briefly. She is very agitated and uncomfortable. Won't sit still and is whimpering. Are these other symptoms common?

Some dogs are prone to a condition called idiopathic head tremors where the head tremors for no known reason, it isn’t harmful and it rarely escalates; just something to keep an eye on. Other causes may be due to ear infections, you can smell the ears for any unusual odor or redding of the ear canal; tumours; or a focal seizure. I would keep an eye on Kenai and if the severity increases or you are generally concerned, visit your Veterinarian for an examination. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
I am 63 years old, I was diagnosed of Parkinsons disease at the age of 57. I had severe calf pain, muscle pain, slurred speech, frequent falls, loss of balance, difficulty getting up from sitting position. I was placed on Sinemet 3 times daily, it helped me but not very much. My neurologist advised me to try natural treatments and introduced me to NewLife Clinic Parkinsons Disease Herbal formula, I read alot of positive reviews from other patients who used the treatment and i immediately started on the treatment. I had great improvement and relief with this treatment, total decline of symptoms. Great improvement with speech, co-ordination, balance, muscle, mood etc, I gained back my life with this treatment and can never be thankful enough.

My Pomeranian puppy is about 12 weeks now and recently started having these episodes where her head moves from side to side similar to a bobble head. She will run around and play but a little uncoordinated and will even fall over at times. It usually happens in the evening and will go away after sleeping overnight. She doesn't seem to be in pain but it's happened about three times now and I'm starting to get worried.

My 5 month old puppy has been shaking his head (I believe head tremors) since the day we got him. It did seem to be worse when he was younger but he still does it every day. He almost seems to do it when he is nervous, trying to smell something or trying to focus on something. His head shakes every day - multiple times a day. I don't think he notices it but people always bring it up. I wasnt too concerned but others are worrying me. Is it something to be concerned of?

My puppy (almost 1.5 years old) has been having head tremors for at least 6 months now. We didn’t notice anything before that, but it’s possible it was happening. We adopted her so we’re not totally sure what mix she is, but our next guess is golden retriever and Australian cattle dog. She has tremors (that we notice) at least 2x each month. She’s currently having an episode... it’s been about 10 minutes. She does stop for about 30 seconds here and there to move or give kisses, and she’s responding to her name but won’t come when called. Just kind of lifts her head and rolls on her side. Is this something to be concerned about?

I have a 4 yr old Catahoula Leopard dog who just presented with short left-to-right head tremors. I think she was excited about the chicken in the kitchen. I noticed it immediately and it only lasted less than a minute. I went over to give her attention and calm petting and calming talk to her and it stopped. Is this idiopathic in this breed. No other symptoms are present.

I am a 49-year-old man. My Parkinson's disease appeared at the age of 47. My symptoms, at the beginning, were fine tremors and rigidity with joint stiffness. My neurologist prescribed entacapone with levodopa, carbidopa, and pramipexole. I opted not to go on prescription medicines but decided on using herbs instead, October 18, 2017 after being on the herbs you recommended, i had a total recovery from Parkinson’s disease with this natural herbal formula treatment. The tremors, Shaking, Joint Stiffness has subsided. When I stumbled upon you guys, it was just pure instinct. And from that day on it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. The caring that goes into explaining what herbs work for whatever ails me is astounding.

I have two boxers, Max is 6 yrs old and has have head bobbing up and down seizures for a three years now. He has been on phenobarbital and has reduced the number of seizures while on it. I got another boxer who is now 2 and half and just starting having the same seizures that Max has. I think this is so weird, I know that medication is very expensive, so is there anything else I can do for Brewster during his seizures, they only have been lasting a minute but he has never has any trauma to his head. Now max has had trauma to his head, so that I do understand why he has this. But Brewster is a mystery. Should I be taking him in or do these seizures really do not bother the dogs and really not harmful to them. Is there anything else naturally I can give him to reduce the numbers of seizure he has if he has more today. So far one last night and one this morning. oops he is having another one as we speak. That is too frequent. Just want to make sure not harmful to him.

I have a 2 year old Doberman who has ear/allergy problems. But yesterday was not his typical ear head shake. It was involuntary twitching. I of course freaked out thinking he was gonna die or something. I got a treat to see if he could snap out of it. And he did. It continued for about ten minutes off and on. Not sure what to do. Vet or no vet.

Helllo. My name is Jennifer and my dog's name is Niella. I need some serious advice about what could possibly be wrong with her. She hasn't eaten her food for four days, drinks water but throws it up (there is no blood in her poop or throw up), she sleeps more than she is active, and she has just been really sick. I don't know what is going on, but I would really like some help.
Thank you.

Golden Retriever, 8yr old, being treated for skin condition with steroids and antibiotics currently. He is near the end of the treatment and started the head trembling 2 nights ago. He did it for about 1-2 min and stopped. It happened again just now, about 36 hrs later, also for about 2 minutes. I got it on video this time. He shows no discomfort and responds to commands while it is happening, just seems involuntary. Very concerned and wondering what could cause this.

I have a puppy pug 8 months who before this week was perfectly healthy and very active. She began head bobbing up and and down last about 2 minutes during this she seems confused. I do take antidepressants/anxiety medications. I am concerned this could be the cause of her head bobbing. Although I try my best to keep medications where she can’t reach it’s possible somehow I dropped one around the house that she ingested. The vet performed various blood test and said her white blood cell count was abnormal but that it could indicate inflammation or infection and to wait and see if condition worsens before further test. Could you give me a second opinion please!

My one year old boxer started having head tremors today. He has had 3 today, they don't seem to bother him and he happily wags his tail at all the attention he is getting. They last for less than a minute and seem to occur as he is waking up or relaxing. He is otherwise happy and healthy. Should we have him looked at? I'm concerned about the cost of tests but also terrified something will go undiagnosed.

Hi.
Our 1 year old Labrador has recently been having small head tremors. We first noticed this when she was playing with her ball and we took it out her mouth. However last night she did a small tremor lasting only a few seconds without playing with her ball. Our vet has done a full physical examination and took a blood test which came back fine. We are booked in for an MRI scan on Monday. We believe it’s likely they are idiopathic however we are understanbly very worried.

8yr old labradoodle, head tremors with NO other shaking througout entire body....he was at groomers and they didn't want to groom because concern of agitating possible condition. He's very healthy with regular checkups.....I have never seen a tremmor outside of what groomer shared. Couldn't anxiety cause the tremmor...and would some type of med (valum type)before going groomers be the solution????

I have a 6 year old shi tzu who's been having tremors for 3 days. It looks more like her head is twitching or ticking. The tremors have improved a bit now but I'm concerned as this has never happened before and she has been feeling very lethargic and unwell. Not sure if her lethargy is due to the tremors or a side effect of the meds for muscle spasms the vet prescribed her. She had her lab work done at the vet but her report was unremarkable. Do you think her symptoms are idiopathic or does it seem more like a neurological problem? She has an appt with a neurologist tomorrow.

Almost 2 year old cocker spaniel started having head tremors today. One at 7 AM, then at 4, 5, 5:30, 6, 6:15. Episodes getting progressively longer. Seem to present when he is relaxing. Fits all descriptions of idiopathic tremors: seems alert, no other symptoms, plays, can be distracted to stop it. I'm freaked out because this is the first time its happened, and they're getting more frequent.

Adopted a rescue mutt pup. 1yr.old. Bobble head tremors but runs like lightning etc. His hind legs are awkward unless he's in motion. Story was: he got stuck in birth canal & c section was done. Lack of O2 to brain? He's great but shakes and loud sudden noises ( sneezing , coughing) freak him out. We named him Bam because he occasionally walks into walls. We love him. Any meds to correct or aid?

Hello ,
I have a bulldog/Dalmatian mix "Nucky" he has had some issues with his skin (rash) and was given allergy shot and put on antibiotics for the sore he chewed in his paw from the excessive licking and scratching. The rash is clearing up tho having trouble keeping him off the paw. I clean and wrap it continuously. He's just obsessed with getting at it. Anyway point if this is I don't know if one has to do with the other but.. over the past 4 days he has been having these head tremors ? I can interrupt it if I say his name. They don't last long but first night they happened every couple of minutes for hours and hours. Non that I noticed the next day than day 3 a few in the morning than subsided. Now today mud afternoon and he just had two tremors ? Please help me out. Can't afford to take him back but am completely terrified for my best friend. Is it something I need to get looked at immediately?

Idiopathic head tremors are a common occurrence in Bulldog breeds and crosses, they normally last only a few minutes but occur multiple times per day, do not cause a loss of consciousness and dogs will respond to being called. However, I cannot rule out if the tremors are due to idiopathic head tremors or due to some side effects of Nucky’s current medical issue; if there doesn’t seem to be any pain or distress, take a wait and see approach but if you are noticing pain or behavioural changes I would recommend visiting your Veterinarian. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
Around age 60 I noticed that my handwriting was getting smaller and I was writing faster. I also noticed a small tremor in my right hand. The doctor went over my different symptoms and he suspected I'd either had a small stroke or the beginnings of Parkinson 's disease. After finding a neurologist and some testing I was diagnosed with the beginning stages of Parkinson’s disease. That was 4 years ago. I take Sinimet four times a day to control my symptoms, which include falling, imbalance, gait problems, swallowing difficulties, and slurring of speech,This year, our family doctor started me on Mbeki Herbal Clinic Parkinson’s Disease Herbal mixture, 5 weeks into treatment I improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain or tremors.
