Is there such a thing as a "little seizure"?

Unfortunately I've had 2 dogs who had seizures before and this just doesn't seem to act like how they were. (1 had it bad before she passed). But just for the sake of argument, is there a way to test for something neurological?

Quoted: My youngest of the 3 dogs (2 1/2 old.....mutt. part pit, part...chucky sob) has always had this weird mouth thing and it's totally random and not often it happens. Anywho, think of it as when a person is cold and their teeth chatter together. But alot slower. It lasts about 5-10 secs and when he does it, he drools like a faucet. I can prob count on 2 hands how many times it's happened but I can't find anything on the internet about it. When he goes to the vet for his check ups everything always comes back fine. |

That's the weird thing, it's completely random when he does it. Today, and why I'm posting, I had just walked into the bedroom and he followed (he was asleep ok n the floor just prior) and when he walked into the bedroom he did it. After it stopped he just jumped up on the bed and went back to sleep.

Coworker just lost a dog, reported that prior to the onset of more serious siezures, the dog would chatter it's teeth and drool. OP, I recommend a vet if the dog is important to you.

My English Bulldogs do something like this.
The vet was consulted, and said that it was them "tasting". This made sense, as it only happened after they just got done licking.... something. Seeing as how this could also be a sign of more serious issues as mentioned by other members, a trip to the vet is warranted. I hope everything turns out well. |

He, as the other 2 dogs, go to the vet every 6-8 months for normal check ups. Usually once a year they get blood work done and nothing ever comes back bad. I also have no kids, hence why it may seem they go to the vet more the most.

my male dobie did that, when he got a whiff of the females asses. he'd sniff, then do the chatter thing, and drool. i've seen it in multiple dogs, and breeds. unless it's accompanied with stiffening of the body, or sudden loss of coordination, i'd say it's no big deal.

I've seen plenty of dogs do that, mostly when nervous or exited.
My dog has seizures. doesn't seem like a relatable behavior. |

Male dogs will do it when smelling a female in heat. Some dogs do it when they get a certain scent or when smelling other dogs urine.

Doesn't mean that it IS a seizure, just that small seizures CAN happen. If nothing else, see if you can catch it on video, and show a vet. |

It would be nearly impossible to get in video. It's so rare it happens and even if I followed him around 24/7 and just HAPPEN to catch it, by the time I get the camera app to record, a few secs" it would b over.
He doesn't stare off into space. Usually he is just doing whatever he was doing just prior, but now the mouth thing. And when it's over he continues on doing what he's doing. If it was something that stopped him in his tracks or seemed more, odd. I'd be even more concerned. |
