This condition is considered idiopathic because the cause is still unknown.

There are many theories about possible causes of head shaking such as seizures, nervous system disorders, or head injuries.

head tremors have also been suspected as being reason for the condition called white dog shaker syndrome.

There are many possible causes for head shaking such as seizures, nervous system disorders, or head injuries, but when those conditions are not present, it is called 'idiopathic'. This condition is usually seen more often in immature to middle aged dogs and some breeds are more susceptible than others.
