Everytime she wakes up her head begins to shake uncontrollably and she spits up a little bit. What could be wrong with her? I'm taking her to the vet on Friday but I wanted to see if anybody knew.

ITs not all the time that she does it just sometimes, but it only happens for a few seconds and then she' s fine.

could be something wrong with her ears, but she probably wouldnt spit up.. I am not sure, but taking her to the vet should get it resolved.

Have her checked for hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain). I had a hydro pup I had to put down 2 wks ago and she did the same thing. Hydrocephalus causes seizures and the dog will usually have an open fontanelle, which is a soft spot on there head like you would see with an infant. This is very common in small breeds. If you have any other questions about hydro, you can email me and I will tell you as much as I can. I seriously hope that is not the problem with your baby. Good Luck!

Sounds like a seizure could be many causes. Did she eat something she should not have? she could have low blood sugar or epilepsy. Is she fine for the remainder of the time? Definitely plan to get her to the vet on Friday but call tomorrow and see if you can get in sooner. It is always best to get seen as soon as possible. I hope she will be okay.

Take her to the vet now that is not good. My neighbors dog did that at an early age and it is not around any more. Yeah when a dog do that there is a real problem.

Just based on what you are telling me, it sounds like she could be having seizures.
Make sure you tell the vet about these when you go in. Only a vet will be able to help you figure out what exactly is going on.
Good luck.

Check her ears. She may have something in them. Clean them out with a warm wash cloth. If she still does it take her to the Vet she may have an ear infection or ear mites.

Wow, could be alot of things... That is a vet problem most definately! Low blood sugar is the first one that comes to mind, but there are many things that it could be.

I'm glad you are taking your puppy to the vet. Better let the Doctor diagnose this..

vet will hopefully tell you whats wrong, is there anything in there? dark dirt like stuff? hair? check it out maybe give them a good ear wash.
my pup does the same , i came to understand the shampoo i was using was to harsh and got his skin to dry.

I'm afraid so, she's having a brain trouble, Have you take her to the veterinarian neurologist?, it seems to me as a brain trauma or something genetic. She would need a brain tomography at once!
