Owners of Chihuahua dogs, like everyone else, sometimes notice periodic trembling in these animals.
This condition of pets can be caused by both completely harmless and quite serious reasons.
Most often, Chihuahuas shiver because of the cold, so, starting from the off-season, owners should put suits on their pets, which should become warmer as the temperature outside drops.
In addition, trembling can be caused by any strong emotion, both positive and negative.
Tremors sometimes appear under the influence of hormones - during the dog's heat or pregnancy. Here it is important not to miss eclampsia - a condition associated with a lack of calcium, which is dangerous for the health of the pet and can even lead to its death.
But it is not only physiology or mental state that causes tremors – sometimes it is a consequence of a serious illness.
Chihuahuas are prone to hypoglycemia, urolithiasis, renal failure, otitis, etc.
Finally, a pet may start shaking as a result of poisoning or as a consequence of an allergic reaction.
