Hi...
Just wondred if anyone else has ever come across anything like this:

The other morning while I was getting ready of work, my Boxer, Macey, staggered to her feet (as is usual..Macey isn't a morning girl!!) and appeared to be giving me my usual morning greeting. Upon further inspection, Macey wasn't wagging her tail at all....just her head! Her head was nodding from side to side, making her jowles all of a quiver.

This really worried me! I've never seen anything like it before! My mind was racing thinking 'stroke' and other nasty, horrible thoughts.

Before long, Macey seemed to pull herself together and tucked into her breakfast as if nothing was wrong. She's been absolutely fine ever since.

Is this normal?? Or is Macey just weird and wonderful??

Was she "with it"? Sounds like a small seizure to me :(

Ohhhhh, you're scareing me now!

She wasn't 'with it' really, but then she never really is first thing. Do you think I should get her checked out by the vet? She's been back to her usual boundy self since! It only lasted maybe a minute, with no side effects at all. Once she shook herself down, she was doing her usual dance routine all over the house.

Definately get her checked by the vet.  Although the event appears to have passed it could be a warning sign of heart problems, for instance, not unknown in the breed.

Ok, thanks for your help. Vets here we come!

Poor Macey! If it's not one thing with her, it's another. The poor lass suffers from Cysts, mites, sore eyes...you name it! We do get her heart checked everytime we go to the vets...home from home for Mace, but nothing has ever been picked up before.

We got our older Boxer, Robbie, heart scored at a year old, he scored zero, but we've never got Macey done. It would be just her luck if she had a 'dicky heart'

Bless her little socks :rolleyes:

I'd agree to get the heart checked. My Cavalier with a bad heart does this, it varies in intensity, at times it's his whole body so his falls over, and the vet explained it was when the heart isn't pumping well enough he doesn't get enough oxygen to his brain hence mini seizures.
