  Hi guys,
  I’m wondering if anyone has experience this or knows anything that could help…
  Just a minute ago bug’s head went side to side quickly, probably about 6 times (2 seconds). She seems fine now, and is flopped out like nothing happened, and there havent been any other concerns or red flags. Does anyone know what this could be from (muscle twitch, infection, etc) ?Thank you!!!

  She probably just had a piece of fur in her ear that made it itchy for a sec . But keep an eye out for repeat occurrences.

  I second Luna. Wick does this when something gets in his ear, or if it itches. It makes a small slap sound when they hit together, which scared me at first, haha. Keep an eye out if it becomes more frequent. An exotic vet can check for ear-mites if things get bad, but it seems pretty normal!

  I wouldn’t be concerned unless it happens a lot. Mine do this sometimes and they had the all clear from the vet just a few weeks ago

  Thanks for the replies. I’ve been watching her and nothing has happened since, hopefully it was just an itch or something
