Fitting?/Something to worry about?

Lucifer is shaking her head in rather a peculiar manner; not like anything I've seen before. It's almost as if she's having a silent sneezing fit :shock:

This is the first time I've seen her do it & she's done it twice in...half an hour or so. She doesn't seem bothered by it but nothing bothers her anyway! :roll::lol:

Should I be bothered, or am I being a worry-wort?!
 
Umm not sure about that, I'd be worried too as it doesn't sound quite right does it.

Can anyone else here help?
 
Is she flicking her ears about a lot whilst doing it? It could be the start of an inner ear infection or a sign of canker....have you checked her ears?
 
No; her pre-binky shakes are really big, and more with the front half of her body; this is just her head.

I've not noticed whether it's her head or her ears she's shaking - the first time she did it she was down the side of the sofa, the second time she was in the crate so it's been a bit hard to notice, I'll give her lugs a check tonight - I'm sure she'll love me for it :lol::lol:
