Zittern beim Hund – Harmlos oder gefährlich?

Trembling in dogs – harmless or dangerous?

5 minutes

Trembling in dogs can be both a normal body reaction and a sign of something more serious. It is important to understand the possible reasons and know when a visit to the vet is necessary. In this article, we will discuss different causes of tremors and show you how to help your four-legged friend.

Possible reasons for the tremors

Trembling in dogs can be caused by a variety of factors. Harmless causes can be cold, excitement or even old age. However, it can also indicate pain, anxiety, neurological problems or serious illnesses such as poisoning.

Monitor the symptoms closely

Observe your dog closely: Does he only shake after waking up or in certain situations? Does he show other symptoms such as lethargy, malaise or behavioral changes? Such observations can be important clues for the vet.

When is it an emergency?

If the tremors occur suddenly, accompanied by symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, weakness or disorientation, this could be an emergency and your dog should receive immediate veterinary attention.

Correct reaction to the tremor

If your dog is shaking, stay calm and speak in a soothing voice. Try to warm him up if he is cold or if he has gotten wet. If he is shaking because of fear, a place to retreat to can give him a sense of security.

Long-term management of frequent tremors

If it is a chronic problem, it is important to find the trigger. To do this, it can be useful to keep a "trembling diary" in which you record when and in which situations the trembling occurs. For the long-term health of your dog, adjustments to the diet, supplements or behavioral changes may be necessary.

Veterinary advice in case of uncertainty

If you are unsure why your dog is shaking, or if the shaking occurs frequently, it is important to seek veterinary advice. The specialist can perform a thorough examination and, if necessary, further tests to determine the cause and initiate appropriate treatment.
