Happy's eating and drinking fine, but she's shaking and shivering as if she's scared.
I'll be taking her to the vet later today just to get her checked because she's shaking so much. But just wanted to know if anyone else experienced something similar? |
We have lymes here in Mass, so I would watch for symptoms. My dog Levi started out shaking and then went into some paralysis with his hind leg.He was diagnosed with lymes three years ago and has been fine since. Just watch carefully for signs of lymes. Use flea and tick preventative year round . You can ask your vet to run the blood test for lymes and make sure.
