Shaking Spasms Our new Yorkie 'Holly' weighing in at just over 4 lbs at 14 months, has spasmodic shaking quivers as if she's cold. I suspect either Hyperglycemia, or Hypoglycemia. The reason for this prognosis focuses on food input. Within 15 minutes the spasms are less intense and within 30 they've gone. I am very aware that due to her small body mass, she may need feeding at say 9am, 2pm, 7pm and a little supper like a few chunks of boiled chicken before bedtime? Her eyes are bright, nose damp and general demeanor bright and waggy tailed, although her motion was a little loose today. My wife has been taking both of them on 4 mile hikes recently and whilst our other Yorkie enjoys such exertions, at nearly 9 lbs she has the reserves to cope. Maybe Holly is struggling to keep up, physically, whilst outwardly enjoying the experience? |
:) Hi Martin + Family! :) Well, even 'Huge Harry' does the shakes occasionally...and I can never really put it down to one specific thing. It could be that little Holly needs more food - but then knowing you, and the way you treat/feed your bubs, I doubt that. Have you tried her with Nutrical? Or even a blob of (local to you) honey? My immediate thought, when you posed the question, was that 4 miles just might be too much for her - yet :) Maybe it's worth building her up to that more gradually? I think this is a really good reason (excuse :rolleyes:) for Irina to go and buy a stunning pup-carrier :D xx |
When you say "within 15 mins or 30 mins" -- do you mean within 15-30 mins after eating, the shaking stops? |
