chihuahua puppy shaking
Check with the vet.
Do you know what the shot was for? If it was a vaccination against some sort of doggie flu, your pup might be getting some symptoms of fever, but still check with the vet. --Lia Chris Bennett wrote: I have a 7 week pup named Ivan who went to the vet today for the first time.He had a shot and full exam.Tonight he seems calm compared to his usual self and he is shaking like he has the hiccups and trembling while sleeping.Is this normal? |

Chihuahuas are subject to hypoglycemia which can be quite seriuos. Since it is not possible to tell whether that is the cause of the shaking you need to consult a vet tonight. http://www.angelfire.com/sc/chihuahua/NewChiOwners.html http://www.barkbytes.com/medical/med0086.html |

The bodies of 7 week old pups are still developing. Their digestive systems, nervous systems, immune systems, etc., still have a ways to go. So symptoms like hiccups or car sickness are normal. Trembling is very commonly seen even in mature chihuahuas. Please explain what information you used to decide that the problem is not something important, like hypoglycemia (which can kill the dog).

Nobody else gave a diagnosis. Hiccups IS very common with young puppies, and trembling IS very common with chihuahuas. Are you saying this isn't true? It may be true. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Hi,
I'm a chi owner, and they do tremble when they're nervous or cold. They're extremely sensitive to the cold. So, is your pup wrapped warm and snug in bed? Mine likes to burrow right under the blanket in his little bed. Kate "Chris Bennett" wrote in message news:Ocg0b.3527$j26.864@lakeread02...
