I have 2 year old beagle-terrier mix, that up until recently was a very
active, sometimes hyperactive, dog. Over the course of the past few days,
though, she developed a condition where her left paw uncontrollably shakes.
We thought at first that perhaps she had been stung by a bee, but we could
find no signs of this. Her condition has worsened over the past day or so.
Now it takes all she has to get up from a laying position, and even walking
is a chore because of her shakes. We have had her to the vet, and so far
all blood tests have been OK. Doctor described it as perhaps some sort of
trembling disorder, but said that not much was known. Has anyone out there
ever heard of this, or had a pet exhibit such symptoms? If so, what came of
it?

Hello Bob. jdoee grasping at straws here. Do you live in tick country? If
you do, is it possible she got a tick bite?

Possibly a neurological problem. Possible impingment (pinching) of the
spinal column by a ruptured or otherwise injured disc. Had a similar problem
with a dog of mine one time.
Good luck!

It is always a good idea to check a general blood panel and have a good exam
done by your vet in case this is symptom of a general sytemic problem that your
vet may recognize. Canine distemper, liver disease, kidney disease, some
hormonal diseases and other systemic or organ system problems can lead to
tremoring.

Start with a blood panel.
*note... you say the dogs seems very hyper sometimes. Has the thyroid been
checked?

Bob-
If you haven't already done so, you may want to have some x-rays
done of that leg or possibly higher up in the spinal column near the
shoulder area. There may not be any abnormalities seen, but its worth
a try. Some bone chips, infections, tumors etc can impinge on nerves.
There are other neurological tests that can be run, but your vet
would most likely have to refer you to a veterinary neurologist to
work the problem up. A neurologist could attach your dog to some type
of electrodes and test the nerves in you dogs legs and see if they
respond properly or with a delayed or hyper response and possibly
pinpoint the problem. Good luck.
