That's the best way I could describe it - or maybe call it tremors. Every five minutes or so my puppy will do a twitching motion that last for maybe 1 or 2 seconds. It looks like she might loose her balance when it happens when she's standing but it happens when she's laying down too. It's been going on all day and I was thinking it may be because she's not a very good eater. How long after they eat should this go away if that is the reason (that they are not eating enough)? She has had a fair amount of food today. I also was wondering if I should give her something sweet like a little karo syrup or something for her blood sugar(?). In other words I don't know why this is happening or what to do other than call the vet tomorrow. Does anyone know what might be going on? Thanks so much to anyone who can help.
