Thank you for submitting your question regarding Princess. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian today. It could be something as simple as an ear infection that is causing her to shake her head. However, I worry about the eye movements you have described. This can indicate a neurologic condition. Her veterinarian will examine her and determine how best to treat her. I hope this information helps!

That could have been something called a focal seizure. If she was aware of her surroundings (ie would respond to her name), it likely wasn't a seizure. I would recommend mentioning it at her next visit, or taking her in right away if it happens again. Try to get a video if you can if it happens again.
