I promise it's not that serious and something that can wait until your vet appointment on Tuesday. I do believe it's hereditary. My vet said that most small dogs have it in some form or another and it varies in severity. Linus does the same thing as far as the frequency, sometimes a lot and sometimes not at all. The vet said it was fine as long it's not a really frequent thing (4 times every day). We have permanently taken off the collar (he used to have it for tags not walks) and that does seem to help some. We just try not to get him too excited. That is what seems to trigger it.
It's really something incredibly manageable with very little effort! |
