My west-highland terrier molly has developed severe chattering of her teeth constantly except when sleeping. Her movements are also quite exaggerated and jerky, giving us the impression that she is constantly afraid(when her surroundings are calm). At present Molly is in hospital and we are waiting for a prognosis. Has anyone come across these symptoms before? Any information grateful! Laura

Ask your Vet about the possibility of White Dog Shaker Syndrome - rare but treatable and will eventually disappear. Treatment includes valium and prednizone.

My Terrier is just over 5 years old. About three years ago he had a case of demodectic mange. The vet successfully treated it with applications of goodwinol ointment. About a month ago, I noticed a patch of his fur missing on his shoulder. This time the skin appeared to have a black rusty appearence in that area. It did not respond to the goodwinol ointment. The Vet took a scraping and verified it was not mange and thought it may have been caused by scratching. I suspect this very dark rusty looking patch which is clear of hair, is some king of condition that will respond to some type of medication. Jack
