trapped nerve perhaps? or..?

[atot]

Chloe has been off work with strange head twitching, runny nose, and feeling out of sorts.

Vets have run tests, which have revealed very little. She did not respond to a steroid inhaler which she had. Painkillers did nothing for the head twitching (I am reluctant to say shaking as she has only just started it, does it whenever where ever, regardless of weather etc...) and also the movements are very slight and unexpected.

Under sedation she still twitched. I have not been able to talk to the vet, but mum has been speaking to her, although I am speaking to the vet tomorrow to see where we go from here.

An experienced friend suggested it could be a trapped nerve. Google did not help me much when it came to symptoms/treatment, but I am guessing she would need to be referred to a chiropractor/physio if this was the case? Has anyone dealt with this, or know what it is.

Could there be a more serious underlying neurological problem?

thank you for any help. Any vibes would be lovely for the poorly Chloe too. Sorry if this is a bit jumbled.

Ahh. <<<<VIBES>>>> for Chloe, I'm sorry I have no idea what it could be, but mabe a chiropractor would be a good idea if your vets run out of ideas.

When you say very slight an unexpected - could you explain exactly what the movement is and how slight? and is it regularly, or how long is there between twitches?

Have you thought about her mouth & teeth? The only thing I can think of apart from what you have said might be if there is something wrong somewhere in her head, like a tooth is pressing on something it shouldn't, or maybe a foreign body could have got lodged in her airways or sinuses against a nerve or something?

Hope you get her sorted soon, poor girl!

(((((vibes)))))
Has your vet done blood tests?

it's as if someone touched her nose and she got a shock. Then she stands there, head slightly tilted waiting for it to happen again. Very odd and worrying. They are little shakes, when she sharply brings her head into her neck and out again.

Mouth and teeth have all been checked and double checked.

I think they did check her throat and found nothing, but I will double check with the vet today and ask about that.

thanks for the vibes will keep you updated.

Yes I think so. I think that was the first port of call after the inhaler etc...
