Why is my 8-month-old dog shaking head and acting strange? Seizure?

Question

Hi, I'm wondering why my 8 month old coonhound is acting weird, shes only done this one other time but shell sit on her butt and start shaking her head then about 5 minutes after she just lays down, shes always always always very very very active. I dont know why shes doing this, almost like shes having a little seizure but sitting up. Pet's info: Dog | Treeing Walker Coonhound | Female | spayed | 8 months and 10 days old | 45 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Gracie. Since the episode has happened more than once, I recommend that she sees her veterinarian. She could be having a partial seizure or she may be experiencing pain somewhere. For example, an ear infection deep within the ear canal will be painful. Neck pain could also make her act how you have described. The veterinarian will thoroughly examine her and will decide if treatment is needed. I hope this information helps!
