Ok, I am now joining the group who is concerned about SM symptoms. Dixie has been doing some things that I haven't seen others mention, at least while I have been reading these posts. When she wakes up in the morning she yawns about 4 or 5 times in a row. She will also yawn when I scratch her around the neck. She scratches, but not excessively problably about 5 seconds and on either side a few times a day. When she is has on her harness, on a walk, she does not scratch or bunny-hop, but she does shake her body every now and then throughout the walk. I have also heard her swallowing or licking her lips during the night. She is still playful, has never yelped when picked up or touched. So....have others who have dogs with SM, or suspected SM had these symptoms? Should I consider an MRI, or take her to a specialist with these symptoms? It just seems like so many of us on this board have cavaliers recently diagnosed with SM. I don't want to overlook anything. Thank you in advance for any info. Judy and Dixie
