Maltipoo puppy who shakes

by Linda
(Florida)

Our puppy is a 4 month old Maltipoo.

Sometimes she shakes like having a seizure why is this?





Hi Linda
The tiny dog breeds are much more prone to the 'shakes' than the bigger dogs, and it could be simply that she's cold, or anxious.

However, shaking can occur if a dog is in pain, or if she is actually having a seizure. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can also cause shaking.

If this continues I'd definitely recommend having your vet take a look at your puppy to make sure that there's no underlying health problems.

Best of luck with her.
