| Trembling at night.. Hello everyone. First of all, a little background, Lola has always slept with me in my bed. Basically, if I'm on the bed, she wants in! Lately, she hasn't been wanting to go to bed with me, and I find her in the living room shivering. She seems to be going through something scary, because she makes accident pottys and sulks around very guiltily afterwards. One time I caught her licking pee off her paw and I realized she had potty'd in her own bed! In addition to not wanting to sleep with me, she has just been acting strange. She sulks around at night time, makes a weird light coughing, and is constantly licking her mouth. Or just sticking her tongue out and back in, like a smacking sound. I heard that dogs do that to supress themselves from throwing up. I've taken her in to the vet's first for the potty thing then for acting strangely, and he says she's ok, but if I wanted to I could get full bloodwork done to give me peace of mind. She doesn't do this every night, but the shaking/trembling is what scares me the most. I took her into my bed early this morning at 5 am. And she stopped shaking and just fell asleep with me like a baby til 8 when I had to wake up to go to work. Can anyone help? Does anyone else's babies do this? Also, I just wanted to throw this tidbit out there. I'm not really too concerned but, Lola has two patches of darker (almost black) shorter hair towards the back two sides above her legs. It's pretty weird, makes me think she might be part human. The patch of hair is about 2 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches square on both sides...Check out your babies and see if they have it too????? |

| How old is she?? Could she be coming into her first heat? My puppy acted very strangely right before her first heat. |

| Sounds like she's cold when not sleeping with you. Maybe you should fix her up another bed where she wants to sleep so she has another warm place to curl up if she doesn't want to sleep with you. We have our little girl in her plastic carrier at night with a nice feather pillow in the bottom and covered over the top with a blanket, so she just gets air through the front entrace to the carrier. She seems to be warm that way and sleeps very soundly. Yorkies only have hair to keep them warm, not fur. So they are more sensative to cold. |

| If you're concerned about her behavior, then just go have a full blood panel done. It's better to have peace of mind. Her peeing in her own bed and things like that would worry me too. Maybe you can get a urine sample right before you take her in to the vets and take that with you when they do the full blood panel. Good luck, and keep us posted!
