But on three separate occasions I have seen her just stand and twitch her head. This is not the dominant or excited head bob. I have seen many videos of this and this is not it. It is a localized twitching - seems like a tic- of the head only and lasts about 5 sec then she is good. I have read this may mean vit deficiency and some other places too much vitamins. So any ideas...? she does get her vegetables frozen ...meaning I chop it up bulk, then freeze and daily pick out a handful and let it get warm and then put it on dish with powder calcium. Anyone seen this and any ideas?
I thunk n I figured it out partially.....many times this seems reproducible when I scratch her head near her ears...maybe just sensitive or ticklish.
