Question

When my Yellow Lab has been sleeping for 30 minutes or so, he sometimes begins to shake. I usually try to wake him up when this happens and it seems as if his eyes are rolled back for an instant before he wakes up. Should I be concerned? Thank You.

Answer

Dogs are the world's best sleepers. It sounds as if your dog is just in a deep sleep and dreaming, which is not uncommon especially for puppies. If you notice any other problems accompanied with this you should see your regular veterinarian.
