In today’s article, let’s learn what it is like to shiver in dogs.
Fear
This type of tremor is most common in veterinary hospitals
Of course, it can also occur at home, usually by someone in the family, a sure thing has caused a lot of pressure on it, this kind of tremor is widespread, it is not a big problem for physical health, it can even be said to be good for a cold
cold
Like humans, when a dog’s brain sees that the body cannot control its temperature because of a cold, it maintains its body temperature by shaking its muscles. Especially those short-haired and small dogs who are prone to trembling when they have a cold
pain
they come from physical discomfort
for example, dogs will Fear some changes in the body caused by the disease because they dog does not know why their body is like this, so they will be anxious, tense, and tremble
There is also a theory that scientists believe that shaking dogs when they are sick reduces the pain felt by the nerves, which is a sense of “self-relieving pain.”
epilepsy
Many diseases can cause epilepsy in dogs
It should be noted that generalized tremors are rarely seen in epilepsy. In epilepsy, the most common one is a tremor in a specific part of the body.
There are many types of epilepsy, and we will study them in depth another day. Another point to note is that if it has epilepsy, even if you give it comfort or even a command, it will not stop shaking in a particular part because, at this time, the brain has released the wrong signal because of the disease. There is no way to interfere with this false signal unless medication.
Tremor syndrome
West Highland White Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Maltese, Beagle, Miniature Pinscher Depending on the breed, there is a certain probability that they will inherit the disease.
These dogs will experience tremors, loss of balance, head tilt, swaying walking, and seizures without warning; these symptoms usually intensify within a few days and then go away.
Scientists have discovered that this is a genetic disorder in which the immune system attacks the body by mistaking it for harmful tissue. Although the disease will heal on its own, there is a high chance that the dog will suffer from encephalitis.
hypoglycemia
The most common situation of small dogs, especially those of the teacup series, is that as long as a particular meal is not eaten on time, it is very likely that the dog will have hypoglycemia. If the rescue is not timely, it is likely to die directly.
Of course, dogs with diabetes are also prone to hypoglycemia. After all, the sugar in the body is excreted in the urine, so even large dogs should not be negligent if they have diabetes. Shaking is one of the symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Some dogs with poor constitution will be shocked after shaking for a short time, so if it meets the above conditions, remember to take it to the hospital as soon as possible.
Low blood calcium
Speaking of low blood sugar, let’s talk about low blood calcium
Calcium is very important for a dog’s muscles, and a lack of calcium can cause a dog’s muscles to contract Frequency problems; the most common symptom is trembling
This is common in puppies 3 to 4 weeks old because breast milk provides a lot of calcium, but their bodies cannot absorb it in time, making the puppy’s body tremble. The same is valid for adult dogs. Calcium can be supplemented, but it needs to be appropriate, and the rhythm must be mastered. The brainless supplement of many nutrients is a burden to the body.
Addison’s disease
This condition can gradually worsen over time and is, fortunately, rare
with Edison, The most representative symptom of dogs with schizophrenia is muscle weakness, which means lost of the ability to jump on the sofa, even if the sofa is very, very low
Senior dogs tremble
Scientists believe that when the dog enters middle age, the protective layer around the nerve will begin to thin.
Just like the protective layer of the Apple data cable will fall off after long-term use when the protective layer falls off, once there is any Fluctuations will make the dog tremble. This trembling is not its intention.
Then the question is how to correct and treat this symptom.
It’s still the old saying, it’s time to comfort and comfort, it’s time to take medicine, please follow the doctor’s advice for specific methods, but there is one thing you need to pay attention to:
If you are going to let the doctor treat it To analyze the cause of the tremor, it is best to shoot a series of videos when it trembles and record its tremor time and specific location, doesn’t underestimate these videos; it can allow doctors to diagnose the condition faster, to prescribe the right medicine
As for your behavior, especially the tremor caused by fear, it is very easy to correct, that is, to give it a little more love.
