The medical findings of shivering and trembling in small dogs can have numerous possible causes. animals will certainly be much more likely to tremble when they are cold, hungry, anxious, or frightened. If worry or tension is causing the trembling, then in some cases something as easy as a distracting treat or going for a walk can help decrease the tension and secondary trembling. because of their lower body surface area, smaller dogs will tremble much more commonly when fevers are present, as well as metabolic problems such as low blood sugar, electrolyte imbalances and nausea.
Shivering and trembling also may occur secondary to neuromuscular or other sources of pain anywhere in the body. When assessing a pet with a history of trembling and shivering it is also essential to look at recent changes in appetite, thirst, bowel or bladder practices as well. If the cause is not obvious, a full veterinary assessment ought to be done. treatment of shivering and trembling will depend upon the underlying cause with prognosis being outstanding once these underlying causes are determined.
