The vet said it wouldn't be that though. Anyhow, her other episodes were definitely not vaccine related or any product related type times. We have no real diagnosis yet, but no episodes either so that's a good thing. We are right now doggy sitting my son's 4 year old Pom who just recently had a seizure. Their vet can't find anything wrong with the dog, but they were going away and were afraid to leave her in a kennel so soon after the seizure so now I spend my nights listening to see if she's sleeping or seizing... And my days walking three dogs! So far so good, no episodes for the wee one.

Products like advantage, advantix has the active ingredient imidacloprid and can effect the brain


Frontline has been noted to cause these head bobbing incidences fipronil

This happens in a small number of animals, it was because owners had kept diaries on their pets after the first instance they were able to trace back the cause
