My almost 8 wk old pitbull puppy is acting different today than normal

by Janel
(Boone Ia us)

She is trembling almost shaking a little. She's very cuddly like she needs to be close, also very quiet....which is not normal.

Should i be worried?



Hi Janel
Any sudden change in behavior such as this is always cause for consideration, possibly concern.

The behavior you describe sounds as though she is either feeling unwell, or has been seriously upset or scared by something.

It's always better to be safe than sorry, and as at only 8 weeks old she's very vulnerable to any number of common, contagious dog illnesses, I would recommend having her examined by your veterinarian as soon as you can.

If she's had her first set of puppy shots that is a plus, but it doesn't mean that she can't get sick.

Have your vet examine her asap so that you can get her treatment if necessary. Best of luck, hope she's doing much better soon.
