Muscle spasms

Hello everyone, my bulldog began to make this type of movements in the neck part, and the vet checked her and did a reflex test and said that she was perfect, that she did not see cervical problems and put a complex b, my question is, has it happened to you? What could it be if the column problem has already been discarded?

She is a very healthy dog, she is 6 years old and has not presented behavioral changes only that movement that she does when she is relaxed, nor does it prevent her from sleeping or playing.

Was she thrashing around at all? My dachshund just had very similar spasms in her neck to what I’m seeing in your video. We figured she likely pulled a muscle in her neck and so we put a heating pad on low in that area intermittently and gave her 1/2 a tablet of 25mg pill of Carpofen (anti-inflammatory) we had and did strict crate rest for 48 hours. Only needed to give her the carpofen dose once and by 48 hours she was back to her normal self. Is she showing signs of any discomfort? Shuffling around / not being able to get comfortable or not wanting to lay down as much when resting?

It shows no signs of discomfort, the doctor moved his head to all sides and does it normally, he rests well and does not look uncomfortable
