Shaking Yorkie? Need advice! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Little Lazarus shakes a few times during the day(if you can call it that). What i mean is that a few times at home, and then right when i take him outside, he stops, and then shakes his whole body(sort of like if i have just bathed him and he is trying to shake the water off his coat). He doesnt have mites/fleas/ticks, anyone else encounter this? The vet hasnt found anything wrong with my baby, and he acts/plays normal all the time.

Don't worry .

All my yorkies do that .

Yeah, don't worry. All the dogs that I have had do the same thing.

Sometimes I think it's sorta the same thing as when I get a chill down my spine and my whole body seems to convulse for second!

He's just trying to mess his hair up!

Truthfully, I think that's what it is - this is the first thing Oscar does when I put him down after I've combed him out. It is TOTALLY normal - just a dog thing!

I don't think it is anything to be concerned about. These small dogs have trouble regulating their temperature. I think it's just like when you or I get a chill.

i love my baby so much, he brings so much joy into our lives i just want everything to be perfect
