| Shaking Uncontrollably help We have been outside today playing with Meg.. she has had plenty of water and everything but just about a half an hour ago once we were in the house I look over and she is just shaking, her whole body like shes terrified of something but thats not it. Anyone have any ideas... other than the shaking she acts fine. ???? |

| Is your house air conditioned? It could be the dramatic change depending on the temperatures. I really wouldn't know what to do, but thats the only reason I can think of as to why she's shaking, or hypothermia? |

| I would call the vet and see if they can give you over the phone advice. Better be safe than sorry. Hope she's OK though. Maybe she's just cold? |

| hmm...maybe you should give her some honey or sugared water...maybe she overdid it in the sun and heat? If it doesn't stop and she doesn't seem like herself I would take her to the vet. Safe is safe. Good luck and keep us posted. Anita |

But with these small breed dogs, one does have to be a little more careful in temperature extremes whether heat or cold. You can't do or not do what you don't know and it is easy to think it is okay in the shade. Maybe it was but it can be very risky unless there is a bit of a cool breeze because even the surrounding air is hot in the shade on a hot humid no breeze day. We've had a record shattering heat wave here in my area almost a week now. I had to be pretty careful with my dogs especially because we aren't used to these high temperatures. | |

| Hubby just called, the vet wants to keep her overnight. She says that maybe Meg got into something that is poisonous to her, other than that she doesnt know. Now we are really scared.. we can't lose her. The vet is going to do some tests. I just hope that she will come out of this and be alright. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I hope your baby is doing better soon. A while Back I had Cali at the vets and it was hot outside and she told me to be careful because these little ones have a hard time regualting their body tempretures especially in the heat. So hopefully it's just from the heat and she will be fine soon. We all love our babies so much and we would never do anything on purpose to harm them so sometimes we offer advice that is common sense but always with the best intentions.

| I hope your baby is okay. Please keep us updated. I had Sissy outside at an event yesterday for about 1 1/2 hours. It was only about 80 degrees outside and we spent lots of time in the shade (and she was being carried most of the time and had water). I totally forgot how easily she gets hot - just as easily as she gets cold. She was really worn out and fell right asleep in her car seat. Nutrical as soon as we got home along with some food. She was just fine - but I will be more cautious in the future.

| The vet said she was gonna put Meg on an IV of Valium to help stop the shaking. She is taking her home for the night to observe her. Hopefully the blood work will help. We are to call in the morning, so I will keep everyone updated. Again Thanks for the help and support |
