Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

Poor Buddy, I'm sure that it's scary when your body is doing something that you have no control over. I don't imagine that it hurts, just scary for him and you.

Daisy's was more of a head wobbly thing, like a child who is fighting to stay awake and their heads go from side to side slowly.

You are a huge comfort to him when they happen though. He knows that he's not alone and that you are there to help.

I would video an episode so you can show it to the vet. Annie had full body trembling which I now know was when her pheo tumor was active and that is why it came and went. If I hadn't taken the video the vet would never have seen it. I think it's worth doing so you can show what you are talking about. Poor baby. Sending hugs, Kim

Keeping you and Buddy in my prayers.CT scan at Tufts plus preop blood work ran around 1200.So frustrating everything has to be so expensive!My friend's dog has a seizure disorder and presents very similar to what you described.Hope they can figure out the why this is happening.Hugs to you and Buddy.

Thank you all,:)
Kim -The video is a great idea and so easy. I can take it with my Ipod, then play it for them or email it to them. :) I will definitely do that!:)
There has been only one tremor so far today, around 7:30 AM. I have been watching Buddy closely yesterday and today. I have to go to work tomorrow as it's the first day of State testing. Testing runs for two weeks. I can't wait til Summer, so I can be home. I don't like having to leave him knowing that he may have a tremor while I'm gone and be alone.:(
Hugs to all,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:

Oh I know that is so scary to be worried about them when you have to be away.
Buddy has allergies I wonder if this is due to something he is allergic to. It might not be something that has been active for him again till now. I don't know if that would be something environmental or something in his food though. A question for your neuro team to look into. Also did they rule out virus possibility of some sort? These are a couple of things I've found mentioned around the internet searches I did earlier, in which a head tremor happens with no lose of conscious, etc.

Hang in there Kathy. You're doing okay and as long as this is something that he Does come out of, while it is scary for both you and him, it is hopefully not life threatening and is something that perhaps they can find a cause for.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

HI Kathy
I hope you get some answers from your vet as to what is going on with your wee man. How scary for you and him. Hope all goes well when you head back to work. I wonder if he needs seizure medication? I think they need to check him out and think the video is a great idea.

Good luck with getting it sorted asap!
Trish

Kathy,
I hope today is going by quickly so you can get home to Buddy. I agree making a video could help so the vet could see exactly what happens.
Glad there was only one episode yesterday...and hoping for none today! How has he been doing since you've been home today? Thinking positive thoughts for Buddy!! :)
