He does not have symptoms when at rest at all. Mostly when he's excited is when he shows symptoms and mostly only a head tremor but sometimes he will sit after playing & it looks like he's going to fall off the floor, lol. Basically looks really drunk. He's had his liver checked several times & all is perfect there. He had an MRI & Spinal at WSU and all was perfect there as well. WSU is where he was diagnosed . The Dr at WSU told me that some dogs have it so bad that they can't even walk. I thank God my Sparky is not that bad. I think it has to do with the way the brain is firing because when he's having a bad episode , I sit with him & rub him & once he's calmed down he's fine. The Dr also said it can be misdiagnosed as a seizure disorder but it's not.
