There is no pattern, they come & go.....I tried keeping a log but it was a waste of time
And yes, sometimes he has them more frequently than other times.

Record how often they happen, the length of time, the time of day, and anything else that is pertinent. See if a nutritional change (ie, more meals, more sugar?)makes any difference. When you have several weeks of notes, make an appointment to talk this over with your vet. You may want to go the route I did, and start your dog on Potassium Bromide liquid 2xday to prevent or lessen these idiopathic head tremors. T his is a non-narcotic approach and it has been very successful for my bulldog. She began these tremors at less than 2yrs old, and is currently past twelve, having been on the KBr daily for most of her adult life. She seldom (few times a year, and they are mild) has tremors anymore, and I've been able in the past few years to reduce her to once-daily. Its relatively inexpensive, $40/pint bottle, giving 1.2cc's per dose orally: dose based on your dog's weight)...and I also do an annual blood test that includes potassium readings to be sure she remains WNL (within normal limits).

put a tablespoon of Karo Syrup in his water bowl every day. That way he's getting a little sugar boost whenever he takes a drink.

I would also suggest feeding him 3 or 4 smaller meals which will help to keep the blood sugar level.
