Here's why it's important to see a vet:
* Many potential causes: Tremors in dogs can be caused by various factors, including:
* Medical conditions: Neurological issues, low blood sugar, infections, liver disease, and other conditions can cause tremors.
* Medications: Certain medications can have tremors as a side effect.
* Stress or anxiety: Some dogs may shake when anxious or excited.
* Pain: Tremors can be a sign of pain.
* Accurate diagnosis: A veterinarian can perform a physical exam, run tests, and determine the underlying cause of the tremors.
* Treatment: Depending on the cause, your vet can provide appropriate treatment to manage or resolve the tremors.
To help your vet, provide them with as much information as possible, including:
* How long have the tremors been happening?
* How frequent are they?
* What else is your dog doing when they shake?
* Any other symptoms your dog is exhibiting?
Remember, your veterinarian is your best resource for diagnosing and treating your dog's tremors.
