| Weird shaking Every now and then Hobbs will do this weird shaking thing where all of a sudden is whole body will shake/shiver and he won't want anyone to hold him and he'll get down on the floor and it will seem like he's stretching his stomach out. Sometimes he'll spin around in a circle and hold one of his legs up. It's so odd. It doesn't seem like a seizure or anything...it seems like he's uncomfortable. Lately it seems like it's becoming more frequent. Sometimes I'll take him outside and he'll go #2 and the shaking will subside. Other times, I'll take him outside and he won't go but the shaking will stop. I have a feeling it might be gas or something. Any ideas???? |

| No ideas. Wasn't he sick a little while back? Do you think it could be related? I'm sorry I can't remember what was wrong. It does sound like he may be uncomfortable. Maybe an xray to look for blockage or something. I'm sorry, I hope someone will give you more useful information. Hope he feels better soon.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I wonder if he's having a bit of a colon spasm or something. Or gas where it almost feels like "cramps", which could be kind of painful. Hmmm, it seems like you feel like it's related to digestion...so it does make me think along the lines of what you're thinking...i.e., gas, crampy feelings maybe? Are you feeding veggies?

I don't feed veggies. Just dog food, treats (which have the same ingredients as his dog food) and an occassional treat from when I make dinner. Should I be feeding veggies? | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I was thinking if it was gas/digestion related and if you already *were* feeding veggies, that they may be the cause of it. Hmm, do you think one of the ingredients in his food may be irritating his system? Is this new for him and/or was there a switch or anything? I just can't think of anything else....
