Trembling/shaking for no reason??

Basenji Talk

  • This is the 1st time someone brought this up. Duke's front leg will shake sometimes. He's young, nearly 2 yrs old now. But it's been occasionally happening since he was a pup. He's very muscular and I think it happens like a muscle spasm. He is usually sitting at full attention. He could be anticipating something good when it happens - nerves. I never thought he needed to see a vet about it. Though I have held his leg until the shaking stopped, to see if it would stop - and it does.


  • thanks for all the responses. it is really chilly here in ohio, so that might be it. he shows no other signs of pain, but i'll watch it more closely and see when and how often it happens. when i put my hand on his chest and pet him it stops. Sharron- the last time he was at the vet was a couple months ago.. and he's in good health, no problems that we know of..


  • My b's wear sweaters from Sally Wallis.
    They are great and keep the dogs warm.
    Let me know if you want the site, I will send it to you.
    I love the fact that they make my dogs happy.


  • Tayda does this… Lenny doesn't. I think Tayda does it when she is cold or nervous...


  • sharron- i would love to check out those sweaters! thanks!!


  • You can find the on E-bay…. from Sally


  • Check out this site…My b 's and l love these sweaters.

  • thanks sharron! they look nice and comfy. i like how you dont have to put the front legs through holes or sleeves. I'm def. thinking about ordering one of these!


  • Mine does this but clearly when he's cold (like sitting out on the deck after the sun goes down). It sounds like your little beastie is just chilled - but if he does it even with covers/sweaters I would have it checked by the vet.


  • We put a sweater on Dash in the winter and a coat for him to go outside. Even with the sweater he crawls under the covers or lays by the heater for warmth.


  • Bought She-Ra a sweater last trip to obedience training. She was shaking and obviously cold…the rest of my group helped find one that worked for her and now she's all dolled up. The wife thinks I should have picked up something more feminine, but I'm more about function...it's a good warm sweater, it was on sale, and it's her own fault for sending out a guy to buy clothes! :)

    Good for you! Would love to see She-Ra in her sweater. I'll bet your DW will put a new sweater on her next shopping list. Soon She-Ra will need her own closet - hee hee :D


  • My b's love the Sally Wallis sweaters.
    They come over "ask" to have them put on in the cold am.

    @heavenpups said in Raw chicken/meat: Yes, they could but sometimes it would depend on your dog if they want raw. In my case, they don't so I have to bake it for 15-20 minutes. Cooked chicken bones splinter. I would be very careful about baking them for any length of time.

    Just seeing this, not sure how I missed it but I am so sorry. Yes, blessed with nearly 16 yrs… but that's more years to leave a bigger hole in your heart.

    Ready to commit myself!!! Hahaha.. Alleycat- so incredibly adorable, I love the look on his face in the first one…might be a hint of mischief in there?! Lol The little black and white bundles get me everytime! I fell in love with breed and wanted a red and white...but after receiving Oakley...it's hard not to have the black and whites melt me. Take lots of pics, it goes by quicker than I remember thinking it would. Love his wide white stripe and his little white mitten foot in the back...he looks overall to be a "cool, laid back type"?! Perhaps it's because I was so used to the panic look as Oakley was panicked by many things back then!

    I like this one a lot, it's hilarious! Being a BRAT member, I would have to rephrase the last one about pregnancy, though… (I know, I'm taking it too serious... sorry). :DI am definitely going to make a copy of it for my fridge!:D

    @sharronhurlbut: My boy freezes in his tracks when she does it to him! Always makes me laugh. Hahaha… that sounds like Charlie when Zaire hits him. He stopped being terrified of her noisesso now she has tried whining, screaming, and one quick bark at him. He never backs down now, untill she starts smacking him on the nose. then he doesn't know what to do and just lays down. :D
