Shaking like crazy

For as long as I can remember Brody has had the shakes so it mustn't be anything to worry about but he shakes mainly on his back legs and it goes rite through his body. Normal it's worst when he's on a walk and when I stop he's just standing there shaking even after walking for 2 mins.
Does anyone's staffy do this to? The amount off people that asks me why my dog is scared is unreal lol

Have you mentioned it to the vet? Have you checked his feet/legs over
No idea im afraid but someone else may be along soon that has come across this.

I've not come across it either and can only echo sue, perhaps a trip the vet. Xx

If I remember rite we mentioned it to him years ago but can't remember what he said, yeh his feet are fine. It's not just his legs it's his whole body but its most noticeable on his rear legs. I think it seems to be when he's a bit excited.
But yeh if no one else has noticed there staffy doing it I will defo take him to the vets. Actually when he's in the vets that's when he shakes most bit I think that's him just scared

Was he health checked as a pup for L2HGA? And how old is he now?

No he wasn't checked for l2hga. He's now 8

It usually causes tremors and exercise intolerance. Ruby has always been a 'shaky' dog and as we know now is affected with L2HGA. Whereabouts in the country are you? On my phone so your profile doesn't show up.

Oh this wouldn't be very good,I may need to get him tested.
I'm in the NE off Scotland

If you look on facebook there's a L2HGA group which had been set up by a vet from Scotland to promote awareness and support with L2.

When we were able to walk ruby her back legs would go into spasm and she would arch her back like a cat and walk on her tiptoes. We would usually have to pick her up and carry her as she wouldn't be able to walk.

sash shakes when she's excited,normally just before she knows she's going for a walk,a check over at the vets would stop you worrying   

I'm reading up on it just now and I don't think he has l2hga as I think he wouldn't be so energetic etc. but defo going to get the vets to check him out. Can you post videos on here or is it just photos?

Yes you can post videos from photo bucket the same way as you do photos   

Ok I'll try get a video on tomorrow when I take him out a walk

There are varying degrees by the look of it, there's a couple of dogs aged 9/10 that are really doing very well and their symptoms aren't as bad as others. Post a video if you get chance

Biscuit's a shaker.. I've seen it in smaller terriers also, I've just always put it down to excited/nervous energy. If we stop on a walk she will sit there shaking waiting to go again. Also does it when she's cold or overly excited.

Yeh that sounds like what Brody does. I'm taking him out soon so ill post a video

Hmm.. That does look more like tremors than bug's! She just gently trembles. I'd show the video to the vets to be sure, try not to worry though!

I don't have any experience of this but I have seen various dogs that seem to shake. They are usually small terriers, have often wondered why they do it.

Daisy does shake a little bit sometimes but not as bad as that, definitely go to the vets, hopefully it is nothing to worry about xx

Yeh in going to have to get him checked out. Ill report back lol

Hey, any update?

Hi, I sent a video to the vets on Facebook who are spreading the word off l2hga and Brody's symptoms don't really match but I'm still going to get it tested.
Yesterday when I took him out for a walk I must have walked 20 yards and bumped into an old mate so we had a chat and I looked down and there was Brody shaking like in the video.. So my thoughts is that it's hopefully just excitement.
We're going to the vets soon to get our rabbits vaccinated so I'm going to mention it to them and show him the video and take it from there.
We're just back from a 3.3 mile cycle so he's flaked out just now lol

Had brody to the vets today, this is the first time he has been to this new vets and he was a wee bugger to the vet :/
Anyway I showed him the video off brody shaking and he said he sees this in a lot off staffs.. So I'm not to sure what to think off that tbh

Is that all he said?

Flo shakes sometimes but not quiet as bad as in your vid. She only does it when she is bored and wants to move on from what I've worked out. I wonder if it could be similar.

Yeh he just said its like excitement. It could be true as he was shaking really bad today when I put his harness on but didn't leave the house straight away.

Got him weighed today at 17.6 so I'm well impressed with this new Orijen food

You don't notice him doing it when he's relaxed around the house at all ?

he does now and then but nothing like when he's out on a walk. I have been trying other thing the past week with him like when out on a walk and he starts to shake ill call his name to get his attention and the shaking sometimes stops for a second when he looks at me

Perhaps it is just nervous energy or wanting to move on.

Guess all you can really do is keep an eye on him and act on any other symptoms IF they appear.

Out of interest, what is he fed on ?

He has been fed on lots off different stuff but now I feed him on Orijen adult food, it has totally transformed his coat and shape,he has more musçle tone now than he ever has

More muscle tone but lighter lol

Ah ok, I just wondered weather it was a lack of sugars or something like that... One of those thoughts that just pops into your mind   

Lol any thoughts are welcome
