Poor Diesel Bentley

Yesterday morning Diesel started this tremor/seizure thing that has us so concerned and scared. We gave him a bath and then let him inside to rest and relax. While I was taking a shower, Nathan noticed that he started twitching his head while he laid there. He got up and asked Jordyn if he had been doing that and she told him that she had never noticed it. We just kind of blew it off as him being a little wet and cold from his bath and being inside where the air conditioner was hitting him. We took him to lunch and then for a drive up to High Rolls and then headed home. We got home and he was resting and then Nathan noticed that he was doing it again, he was moving his head side to side as if saying, no, no, no. He was alert and oriented and didnt lose control of his bladder or bowels, but it went on for a few minutes. We just laid there with him and tried to get him to snap out of it. We scoured the internet and see what this could be. It seems that this is a problem that some bulldogs get, nothing can be done since its not a "full seizure". It happened a few more times through out the day. We even gave him a handful of sugar since it could also be due to low blood sugar. We are just keeping a close eye on this and hoping that with maybe a new diet of adding extra calcium to his regimen that this may help. We just hate seeing him not 100%. Allorah and Jordyn were so sad last night when we told them and Lola's eyes started watering thinking that he might die, we just reassured her that he is ok but just needs to be loved on when he is having these "episodes".
