As Elaine said, check all the nooks & crannies!



Iz Winter Over?

she starts licking thin air and then gets the head shakes. it stops the licking, but the first time it happend to me i didnt realize the air licking and then she started to have her head kinda twich or shake. some dogs will lick the air and have tremors, or no tremors at all. josie gets her karo syrup now before it gets to head tremors. some have described the tremors to snapping at invisible flys. any way, the karo syrup does it for my girl as her blood sugar drops. it stops instantly withe the syrup.

ears, butt, anal sacks, face folds, and vulva area? Check all nooks, crannies, and folds.

When Roxy does that it's usually her ear.

rocky does this, and i know its his ears, good luck

not really sure then could be her butt.

going on in her ear...or there might be something caught under the gums at the back. something like when you get the 'husk' off some popcorn under your gums.

I am sorry, I hope you don't think I am stupid. Head Tremors?

I just turned mine up..it worked out ok for Bella too..
she has no issue with her tail whatsoever..
but.she keeps licking the air...
she stopped once the humidity got up

Actually, Jazzy does not have a tail. It was amputated when she was younger. Sorry...should have put that down on my response.

josie Lousie does this as a precirsor to head tremors, my thumb dipped in karo syrup and put in her big yapper stops them instantly. just my .02. tamsen

could be her tail. for whatever reason that is usually their reaction same as if when you clean it out good they kind of chomp at the air.

I have been using a humidifier lately, I know the house is so dry. I guess maybe I will turn it up a bit?

it is because the air is soo much drier at this time of the year in the house.
I put on a humidifier here and Bella seems much better.
she keeps doing the same thing..licking in the air...at nothing
try some humidity somehow
maybe even a cool mist vapourizer might help

she usually scoots if it is her butt.

her butt? LOL
