YT 2000 Club Donating Member | This is not normal unless he was shaking from the cold. Call your vet and see them - also if this repeats try to video the shaking.

| Shaking pup How big is your pup? One of my pups is only 3.5 lbs so if she waits too long to eat her blood sugar gets low and I have to give her nutrical. She also shakes when she's scared or when she has a tummy ache. Good luck! Hope your pup is okay. |

| How was his mental state during this? Zoned out? Eyes rolled back in head? Alert? Did he fall? Did he get weak with the tremors? Did he become incontinent during the tremor? How was respiratory pattern? Any change in the way he was breathing? Rapid breaths? Deep breaths? Gasping breaths? Did he remain standing? If he was laying down, did he stiffen? Did he holler out during the tremor? Did he have excessive drooling during the tremor?...after the tremor?....When tremor was over, was he alert? Appetite remained unaffected by tremor? These are just a few of the questions that come to my mind immediately.... These are all questions that are important to have the answers for. When you go to your vet to have the vet assess him, if possible take a video and take the answers to these questions. I hope your baby boy is feeling better and you can get answers for your event with this pup....but he does need to be seen by a vet. |

| all good notes. My little one (4.5lbs) suffers from seizures. they usually are mild and appear like that. She will just sit , non responsive and just shake for 1-2 minutes. Sometimes she will loose her balance or her legs will not respond properly. She is on 7.5 ml of potassium bromide (a type of salt) solution. It works wonders for her and not hard on the liver. no seizures since. see a vet though because could be other things as well. |

| "Seizures" Quote:
The shaking isn't usually seizures, it's usually due to hypoglycemia. If your pup is that young it's probably small, and small pups are more prone to get it. It may happen in the morning because your pup has an empty tummy. Does it usually happen before of after your pup eats? | |

| I agree with Candescence. As a young pup you can drain their reserves very easily. Especially if you have kids in the house that are always wanting to play with the pup and dont let it rest or eat enough (frequently-remember they are very little and they don't know they are a small breed they think they are a big dog). I would try rubbing a bit of honey on the gums if you see shaking happening and see the result. The sugar will be absorbed very quickly. Make sure you are feeding good quality puppy food. If this is the cause of the shaking, the reason the vet cant find anything her blood sugar is probably fine when you take her in. The answer to your question is My Emily has had a great response to the Potassium Bromide for her seizure isues. It is also very easy on the liver. Seizures may involve shaking but really it is the zoning out that is the big clue. Emmy may shake a bit, do repetitive movements, have loss of balance or just not be responsive to external stymuli. Good luck |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Could have been cold, in pain, sick to tummy, digestive pain, scared of something she smelled in the air...could be so many things. If it happens again, I'd probably video it on your phone so you can show the vet. And, see if warming her helps -- and also see if she'll take a high-value treat/food during that time...if she won't take a treat, you might then wonder if her tummy is bothering her.
