head tremors and breeding
Submitted by elahnen on April 20, 2010 - 11:15pmHi.. i was wondering what everyone's opinion is regarding breeding a female bulldog that has mild head tremors ever couple of weeks..she is on a potassium medication. We were thinking about not breeding her because we don't know much about head tremors and how they effect the litter or the mother during pregnancy. Any and all comments and suggestions would be very helpful!

I would say it would depend on the cause of the head tremors
My girls had head tremors on certain dog foods. I changed food and the tremors went away. In a case like that, if the bitch were otherwise healthy and a good example of the breed, I would say it was ok to breed her. But, if the tremors were caused by a medical reason or unexplained, then no I don't think she should be bred. The risk would be too great that something could be passed onto the pups.
