Nope.

+2 for neuros! Had similar case in a Ridgeback, that had mild otitis. Skull x-rays did not suggest OM. Ended up referring it. Had CT scan etc. Ear disease was treated with longer antibiotics and was started on PB (low dose) was given. Signs all resolved.

+1 for neuro (can's see vid either but description cap fits). Sounds like partial/limbic seizures to me.

By way of a diagnostic test - Keppra for 5d should eliminate signs (then could start phenobarb longterm - IME often lower dose possible than for full seizures/epilepsy).

On youtube you'll need to tick a box to make video publicly viewable

I can't see the video. It says it's private.

Ditto

But fly snapping was always seen as a kind of petit mal seizure; these days no doubt it has some other kind of classification, but I'm sure we used to see more of these. Subject to normal bloods (and MRI, if that's your bag), you may be headed for the phenobarb.

And apparently the paw on the face is a regular feature with it as if a fly might be annoying him. No face rubbing that I know of though.
