5 week old puppy has tremors in its back
end, none of the other puppies are doing it
Dog Question: Puppy has tremors, stops when it sleeps.
Mainly its back end, its about 5weeks old, none of the other
puppies are doing it. Not showing signs of kidney failure, no
vomiting, eating fine, socializing fine, just shakes. Its a
chow mix puppy, is it the nerves or muscles, spine maybe? Do
you think its better off to put it down or is there a chance it
will get better as it gets older? Seems to me it would be
expensive to even diagnose, do you know a price range? Any
information would be helpful, she is a sweet pup. Thank you
Hi Rachael,
Sorry to hear about your puppy. I would definitely not
euthanize the puppy yet. Give it time for it to outgrow
this.
It seems like it is eating and socializing okay.
Many times these tremors do not get worse and most do
disappear with age.
Give the puppy a couple of more weeks and then let me know
how it is doing.
