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.
It doesn't sound like hypoglycemia. I would call the vet. You can give a little bit of karo syrup on your finger if you do think it's hypo though. What parts of her body are shaking?
