Dog shaking, trembling, and unstable standing

The main causes of dog shaking, trembling, and unstable standing are considered to be meningitis, epilepsy, intracranial parasites, and poisoning. The incubation period of the first three is relatively long, while the poisoning causes the above symptoms in dogs usually in a short period of time. Given the severity of the dog's symptoms, it is recommended to bring the dog to a pet hospital for relevant checks and treatment in time.

Shaking, trembling, and unstable standing of dogs are collectively referred to as neurological symptoms. If a dog frequently exhibits these symptoms, it is recommended to bring it to a pet hospital for further examination and treatment to avoid delay in the disease and potential death.

The main causes of dog shaking, trembling, and unstable standing are considered to be meningitis, epilepsy, intracranial parasites, and poisoning. Among them, the symptoms of meningitis are diverse, such as mild stimulation or touching the dog's neck and back, which can cause a strong pain response. At the same time, the dog will also exhibit excitement, restlessness, anxiety, and other symptoms. Some dogs are mainly depressed. When the inflammation further spreads, the dog will also present symptoms such as unstable gait, circling, and foaming at the mouth.

The causes of epilepsy are diverse, and dogs usually exhibit shaking and trembling during seizures. Diagnosing epilepsy requires combining clinical symptoms with relevant imaging examinations.

Intracranial parasites are mainly caused by the mechanical stimulation of the dog's brain tissue by parasites, resulting in related neurological symptoms. Diagnosis requires brain imaging examinations.

Lastly, poisoning can also easily cause shaking, trembling, and unstable standing in dogs. Common toxins include rat poison and organophosphorus insecticides. Among them, rat poison comes in many forms, some of which can cause neurological symptoms, while others can cause severe bleeding tendencies such as subcutaneous hemorrhage. Organophosphorus insecticides mainly cause poisoning through oral and skin contact, and dogs usually exhibit shaking, eye tremor, and stiffness of the four limbs.
