Question
Hi Patt,
Promise I won't rate you or waste your time.  I have two 4 1/2 month old purebred Lab puppies(female) from the same litter.  Both appear in good health but one is experiencing problems.  Approx 3 weeks ago I noticed that pup standing at the window when, for no apparent reason, she wheeled sharply away. (Almost as if someone has frightened her) but no one was there.  She came inside to eat and while standing at her bowl suddenly and involuntarily jerked to one side and ran approx 5 feet.....She did the same thing every minute or two for 45 minutes.  When she lay down she couldn't rest because she would suddenly jerk upward and run a few feet.  She has experienced two more episodes like this in the last few days.  Yesterday, she began the jerking movement but, this time, accompanied by a quick grimace as she pulled herlips back over her teeth.  She doesn't appear to be in any real pain but seems to make these movements for no reason.  My vetenarian put her through some tests, blood and all, but found nothing.  The Vet didn't see her experiencing these sharp movements but when I tried to explain said she had no idea what might be the cause.
I don't expect miracles from you but thought you might have experienced this problem or know someone who has.  Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.

Hi Phil
Do not worry about rating me I could care less I know how good I am with animals without ratings.  thanks anyhow.  I appreciate your consideration however from the low lifes that prey out of jealously.
This dog is genetic causes from Seizures of some type, there are many and most vets miss them for they are not as good as BREEDERS IN DETECTING WHAT IS IN THE LINES WE BREED.
Go to the Breeder u bought the two from and tell them NOW what is going on and that u request a replacement for this ill puppy for it is only going to get worse.  This is in the seizure field from a parent carrying the gene and it must be stopped from this breeder and it is up to you to contact them and tell them what u r telling me so they get the parents tested with scans of the Brain AND FIND OUT who is throwing this bad gene and fix the dog and put it up for adoption.
This would be the least I would do is replace your pet for you with a better or equal one from a totally different litter so u do not get the problem again.  Never buy two from a same parent set, in case of this thing that has happened to your pet.
Contact the BREEDER NOW AND ASK TO HAVE YOUR PET REPLACED OR REFUNDED PRICE OF IT NOW!
Be sure and research the Breeder before buying one and at least two u should of done more homework on this Breeder for this is most GENETIC.
THESE ARE A TYPE OF SEIZURES THE DOG IS HAVEING AND YES, IT IS PAINFUL AND NO VET CAN TELL ME OTHER WISE, ANYTHING THAT DISTRACTS A DOG SO QUICKLY IS PAINFUL TO MAKE IT MOVE SO QUICKLY IT NEEDS A BRAIN SCAN OR MRI TO FIND THE TRUE CAUSE BUT MOST LIKELY NOT CUREABLE AND THE DOG MUST BE DESTROYED AS MY BOSTON TERRIER HAD THIS AND HAD TO BE PUT DOWN.
so sorry about this but your pet is in a bad way and u must take immediate action against the BREEDER TO CORRECT THIS FOR YOU BEING U HAVE TWO FROM SAME LITTER IS VERY RISKAE AND I WOULD NOT TAKE ONE AS A GIFT FROM THEM.
sorry but sad and true u got a dog that take a weird type of SEIZURE AND IT IS PAINFUL REGARDLESS OF THE VET SAYING IT HAS NO PAIN HOW DOES HE;SHE KNOW THIS THAT IS WHY IT MOVES QUICKLY AND SO OFTEN FROM PAIN OF THE BRAIN. HOW SAD I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR PET, PLEASE CORRECT THIS AND GET TO THE BREEDER TUESDAY AND DEMAND A CORRECTION OF THIS SINCE THE PET IN NOT OLD AN  MOST WARRANTYS ARE TO TWO YEARS OR MORE.  
I pray that u get this corrected and get a healty pet, this is why i went to WEST GERMANY FOR MORE HEALTHY DOGS TO RAISE FROM PUPS TO ADULTS FOR BREEDING WITHOUT ALL THIS AMERCIAN HEALTH ISSUES IN THE LINES.


Kind Regards
