Teddy suddenly trembles and cannot stand up, but recovers after a while

Teddy's sudden tremors may be due to calcium deficiency, low blood sugar, sequelae of distemper, or related symptoms of epilepsy. It is recommended that the owner remove nearby debris when Teddy trembles to prevent accidents such as bumping into objects, and help Teddy remove vomit to keep the airway clear, avoiding suffocation.

If the frequency of Teddy's tremors is not high, and the seizures are very rare, with no obvious abnormal symptoms after the seizure, you can observe for a bit longer and may not necessarily need treatment or care.

If Teddy's tremors are more frequent or have abnormal mental states before or after the seizure, it is likely due to physical abnormalities. It is advised to take Teddy to the pet hospital in time. During the seizure, try not to shake or press Teddy's body too hard to avoid causing harm to the dog.

Teddy's tremors caused by low blood sugar or low blood calcium may have a longer or more typical medical history, such as Teddy recently receiving a high dose of insulin, the dog being hungry for a long time or lacking calcium and vitamins in its diet.

If it is due to sequelae of distemper, Teddy must have a history of distemper, which is generally not curable.

If it is epilepsy, advanced imaging examinations such as MRI are usually required for diagnosis.

However, if it is due to abnormal electrical discharge of certain nerves, the cause may not be identifiable, but medication control and regular check-ups can be tried. With this approach, Teddy can maintain a relatively high quality of life and a low seizure frequency.
