| We need help please reply.. our baby suki is 3 months old weighing 3 pounds and a good eater and have a lot of energy. lately i notice her when she sits or lay that she shakes a little like nodding (from the chest to the head) last night she did it and fell on her side and i thought she was playing coz her daddy and her were teasing each other. then tonight it happened again! so i shouted to my husband and he came and it happened again. she is her normal self except for that thing. IM WORRIED WHAT COULD BE WRONG. CAN ANYONE GIVE AN INPUT? we are thinking to take her to vet but any response will be appreciated.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | It could be hypoglycemia, but these symptoms also make me think of Liver Shunt (the vet would need to test bile acids for this). When does this happen in relation to when she eats?

| If I'm reading the symptoms correctly, I'm also wondering about hydrocephalus, among the other things. Please keep us updated on what the Vet says. |

| i dont think so i check her body and nothing seems to be hurting her..she never go off the bed without me or my hubby carrying her down..we dont have stairs and im always with her 24/7 so i dont know where she can probably get these injuries.. my husband talked to the breeder and they said they never had any history on this one..and said it might be for lack of calcium..its the first time i heard of this and she asked are her ears up..i dont even want to talk to my husband right now i told him specifically what to ask (i dont speak bulgarian yet)..im juz sitting here crying and waiting for our vet appointment..

| Sounds like she needs a BAT Test. Bile acid test. How old is she and how much does she weigh? |

| we went to the vet yesterday and he said it could be mild epilepsy. he said no reason to be too worried since it happens to young puppies and in time she will outgrow it once she build her immune system. he gave us vitamins and some things for her diet. we are in contact with her breeder and she gave us a lot of advice for the vitamins and the her diet. she wanted us to take the test for the liver just to be sure and we agree with her. all in all, right now suki is under observation will she get worse or not. i notice that she get the nods when she gets excited and worked up. we will do the test for her liver and hope for the best. so far she is acting normal. i gave her vitamins and keeps close eye on her. thanks to everyone who posted, i really appreciate the thought.

| My old roommate has a min pin that when he gets too excited and runs around he will shake and fall over, sometimes motionless sometimes moving his legs. He has a heart problem and when his pulse increases it creates a short circute. They couldn't offer a treatment so we would just make sure when he go too excited we would calm him down. I would definately run moretssts because epilepsy is not a common thing for a puppy.

| Do you think she could be having little seizures? Please read more about seizures simptoms and compare.... i hope it is not but if you are giving honey that would stop the hypoglicemia .... I know nothing about the liver shunt but here there are a lot of people experienced with it that can give you advice. Anyways i would consider the vet visit ASAP... the more you delay usually the more costly it is... Good Luck
