my bulldog gets the shakes

Question
My bully is 8 years old and pretty healthy.  I feed him (Moby), Wellness Fish
and Sweetpotatoe dry food and supplement w/ a powder to help his coat, and
a doggie version of glucosamine.  He gets the occasional can of food as well.
Since we've gotten him as a pup there have been about 7 times, (one just
recently) that his head would be shaking involuntarily, similar to an elderly
person with Parkinson's.  The episodes last about 5-10 minutes and then go
away.  He makes no sound during these episodes, and is able to walk around
and respond to things around him.  What causes this, and how concerned
should I be?

Answer
Hello, very odd.  I am not sure about this one.  Sorry, wish that I had an answer for you.  Wonder if it is some kind of a pinched nerve that periodically acts up.

Otherwise, no idea on my part..

Glad it only happens once in a Blue Moon!


You are feeding a great food!  Good job with the supplements and food~~
