Shaking legs Has anyone encountered Yorkies with shaky legs? My almost three year old Yorkie male's front legs (and very occasionally his back legs too) shake. It doesn't happen all the time, and at first glance it looks like he is either cold or nervous, but he is neither. I asked my vet about it and he said it is something neurological, and as long as my dog is not in pain we should not worry about it. However, it happens alot, and his front legs seem to be bowing outwards, whereas they used to be very straight. I know that Yorkies do suffer issues with joints, and I don't want him to have major issues when he gets older, because of this. We maintain his weight, as I'm sure being overweight would be very bad for leg problems, and try and exercise him regularly. Has anyone else seen this same problem? If yes, did you come up with any other solutions? Thanks! :) |
I have not had that problem but I think I would get a second opinion. If it's nothing then you can relax and if it is something that needs to be treated you can get him back to normal. Good luck keep us posted. Hopefully someone else has encountered this and can give you some answers. |
First - your vet is probably correct - it is probably a neurological problem, and more often than not, these are almost impossible to figure out. So -- if your dog is comfortable....don't even go there. Second - if you run a search, I have posted a couple times about a "shaking dog syndrome." (Just search "shaking" and see what comes up.) You might see if this syndrome describes what your dog is doing. I have noticed several times in the last month or two - people posting about their dogs "shaking." So, this must not be an uncommon problem with Yorkies. I think you might find it interesting to read some of the other posts. Good luck! Carol Jean |
