Why is my small dog shaking all over and unable to stand up?

A small dog shaking all over and unable to stand up may be due to poisoning, cold weather, low blood sugar, body pain, infectious diseases, or other causes. The owner needs to check the ambient temperature, as well as the dog's recent diet, temperature, nose mirror, bowel movements, mental state, appetite, and other abnormalities. Based on the specific situation of the dog, determine the cause of the disease and take corresponding measures for treatment. If the temperature is abnormal, the dog is depressed, and the appetite decreases, it is more likely to be an infectious disease. It is recommended to go to the pet hospital for infectious disease testing with a urine pad and consult a doctor for medication treatment.

1. Poisoning

The symptoms of dog poisoning mainly include depression, muscle tremors, limb shaking, excessive saliva, cyanosed conjunctiva, difficulty breathing, vomiting, and diarrhea. If these symptoms are found in a dog, it is likely poisoned. At this time, the owner should immediately consult a pet doctor and perform emergency vomiting. Then, take the dog to the pet hospital in time to determine the type of poison and use the corresponding antidote for treatment.

Usually, owners need to pay attention to placing rat poison, pesticides, and chocolate, which are easily causing dog poisoning, in places where the dog cannot reach to avoid accidental ingestion.

1. Cold Weather

If the dog's whole body is cold, it is most likely due to the cold causing shaking and inability to stand up. In this case, it is necessary to take good care of the dog's warmth, add blankets or clothes to keep the dog from catching a cold.

1. Low Blood Sugar

If the owner does not feed the dog on time, it is easy to cause low blood sugar, leading to a low body temperature, and thus shaking all over, depression, weakness, and even coma, especially in puppies less than one month old. At this time, it is recommended to feed the dog with a 5% glucose solution immediately, otherwise, it may lead to shock and death.

1. Body Pain

If the dog has gastroenteritis, neuritis, or joint problems, it may cause pain, leading to shaking and inability to stand up. At the same time, the dog may also show depression, decreased appetite, lack of activity, and crying when touched. If the above symptoms are found in the dog, it is necessary to go to the pet hospital for inspection and determine the specific cause of the disease before symptomatic treatment.

1. Infectious Diseases

If the dog's vaccines have not been fully administered, infectious diseases such as distemper, parvovirus, and coronavirus are more likely to be considered. It is recommended to take the dog to the pet hospital for infectious disease testing with a urine pad and consult a doctor for medication treatment.
