Old Dog Tremors – Is it Normal For My Dog’s Leg To Tremor?

Old Dog Tremors – Is it Normal For My Dog’s Leg To Tremor?

Commonly we will see one or two limbs on a dog that simply tremor.
Key elements of a “Don’t Worry About It” response are:
1) Pet seems unaware
2) Happens upon some excitement
3) Pet acts perfectly normal in every other respect
4) It’s not constant at all. Maybe daily.

So, if (in the video) there was thunder, or if the dog was looking around terrified, then you know the tremor is “a thing”.

If the dog is just resting and looking at the TV then it’s ‘nothing’.

(Video formats correctly when played.)
