The sane thing happened to my yorkie. I thought she was having seizures. She is 12 years young. My vet took an x-ray or ultrasound & discovered her heart is 3 times larger than it should be & that is why i noticed it happening to her when she was excited....it was exerting her heart. Good news my vet has her on 2 pills each day. 1 for water retention (around her heart) and 1 for cardiac performance. She has been much better! Ask your vet to check your pooch's heart. God bless & good luck.

 I'm not too familiar with dog care, but I had a very similar issue with my cat, Tigre, who is now healthy and playful as ever.

I still don't know whether it was a hairball issue, or something else, but this series of newly-acquired habits fixed it. I hope it can help you too.

* Every 3 weeks, I feed him 1 Tbps (table spoon) of Vaseline (yes, petroleum jelly) once a day, for one week. So, for one week of every month he gets a daily Tbps of this. If he doesn't want to eat it, I mix it with another Tbps of plain tuna, or anything else he likes to eat. This might only apply for cats, though, where hairball issues are prone to happen.


* Renewing his water every week.


* Washing the water bowl every 2 weeks.


* Making sure no other pet or animal has contact with his food and water.


Also, you might want to keep an eye on her, if she has access to grass. Some mammals eat grass when they have problems in their digestive system.

And, of course, another vet's opinion can't hurt.
