Happy to hear Murphy is doing okay. I did do some research on this syndrome. Does Murphy always have the tremor, or does it come and go. And if it comes and goes, how often does it happen...and how long does it last?
With my Winston it comes on all of a sudden...with no warning. It last for any where from 15 to 30 minutes...with Nutrical he comes out of it, tired but fine. In between episodes he acts totally normal. And he has had them as often as weekly...or as far apart as 3 months. He does not lose consciousness, although he seems out of it, unaware. Unable to stand, let alone walk. He becomes rigid...spastic, not limp like a rag doll. Pants heavily, drools a lot. He does not lose control of bladder or stool. His paws seem to paddle and his head is somewhat jerky. Does any of this sound at all like what Murphy does? I'd like to know of any similarities or differences to bring to my vets attention. As we are still, after a year trying to figure out what's going on with him.
Give your baby boy a big hug, and I hope he does well with his new medication regime. Thanks for any input you may have that may in turn help Winston or others, so we can learn more of this disorder.
