So over the last week or so, I have noticed my EBD get kinda shaky, kinda like a tremor or something, his whole body gets like that. He acts like nothing is wrong, he wants to play, lay in my lap etc. He is eating fine and doesn't show any other signs of something wrong from what I have noticed, have you ever seen anything like that. It doesn't happen very often but it has happened twice in the last week.

How long does this last -if blood sugar drops too low that can happen. That may not be the problem, but try giving Kayro syrup, or maple syrup or something sweet, when it happens. If it is blood sugar-that will stop it-and then a trip to the vet. I have experience with seizure's, but I haven't seen a seizure like that-but I assume that is a possibility. Someone else will have more ideas.?

Could he be shivering because he is cold? It's been abnormally cold lately.

well happened yesterday and in the afternoon and it was 70 yesterday. I notice if I pet him or touch him the shaking stops/tremor goes away.

Well, could there be something that is making him nervous/worried/scared.? A new or unusual noise or noise outside?Petting wouldn't stop him if it was blood sugar or tremor-unless it's possibly similar to head tremor.

Poor baby. I agree with [MENTION=8741]Manydogs[/MENTION], he is probably scared/nervous of something.

Excitement/anticipation? Start writing down when it happens-and if petting always stops it. I have aPyrenees who shivers with excitement when I go out because she knows I have dog biscuits for her.

I totally agree with Lynn. It could be nervousness, or excitement. If petting him stops it, then maybe if he's nervous a thunder shirt or similar t-shirt might help him. I would watch him, and document when it happens, and take a video if you can.
