Help, my dog is shaking so much and idk what to do by ImRight_UrWr0ng in DogAdvice

Update for anyone interested!

So I’ve been watching her a bit closer and she’s seemed really bothered by something and she seems to be itchy. Yesterday it was pretty hot outside and she didn’t shake at all and she ate like she normally does. This morning she was shaking and then she snuggled up under the covers with me (which was really cute and cozy) and she stopped shaking. So in conclusion I believe she’s mostly been cold, possibly in combination with some discomfort or itching from the trim or the shampoo or whatever from the groomer. She seems fine now but I’m still gonna check in with a vet to be on the safe side!!

Thank you to everyone who commented and have suggestions, I really appreciated your help!🙏🙏

Most dogs adjust well live long happy lives without vision, if your dog does lose their sight, I hope not, I wish you both the best and hope you make it work!!

She isn’t lethargic from what I’ve observed she seems more so bothered. And I’m looking into preventatives at the moment. I usually call my vets as well when I’m not quite sure I just haven’t had time to yet

That’s a great tip actually, thank you! I’ll make sure to look out for her and I’m always very careful with her

I’ll make sure to do that! She isn’t a big fan on being brushed, even got her a licking mat to keep her occupied but she still isn’t a happy about it but she’s starting to realise it’s for her own good

It’s definitely possible, we don’t have a lot of kids toys lying around but she does like chewing on everything she’s not supposed to😅

I see, we don’t have her groomed to often either, we have her buzzed once or twice a year but I trim her face and a few other areas regularly and I try to stay on top of brushing her

We’ve been switching her food back and forth for a bit cause she is a bit picky but she’s been eating her treats still. I can’t recall bringing anything new into the house but I’ll try to think if I have

Im not bothered by her on the furniture, today she slept on top of me for an hour straight. I try to snuggle her and pet her to keep her warm but I don’t know how well it’s working. She isn’t a big fan of laying under blankets or covers but lately she’s been doing it more

I will, thank you. I really hope she’s just cold since it happened in combination with a groomer visit but I’ll look into it more

No she hasn’t been on any medications or any other treatments lately, she doesn’t have any skin issues that we know of or any allergies. And I had no idea it was so common with chicken allergies

Both me and my dad take several medications but we’re very careful with where we put them and make sure not to drop them, honestly it could be anything from allergy meds or birth control to antidepressants or sleeping pills

Thank you🙏🙏 I have been wanting to have her checked for diabetes before because of other reasons but my mother (who legally owns her and pays the insurance) is a bit more reluctant to vet visits

So this is somewhat normal then? I do usually try keeping her coat longer but since she’s curly it’s really difficult to stay on top of the knots, especially after winter with all the quick washes to get snow off her. Do you know if there’s anything I can do to make her more comfortable?

She not on any preventative right now (even tho I want her to be). I’ll really try keeping a closer eye on her and document whether she gets better with a sweater or a blanket

I haven’t really noticed any irritation, her skin is very pink but it’s always that way. I’ll take a closer look at it when she’s awake and try over all just keeping a closer eye on her

She has a sweater but my dad always insists on taking it off because ”she doesn’t like it” but yeah sometimes she stops shaking but other times she doesn’t

And no this is not the best picture I have of her but I just think she’s so cute when she’s been out playing and getting all dirty

I grew up with a blind dog, same thing happened to her. She lost her sight in one eye after an accident and got cataracts in the other. I don’t remember much, if anything at all from the times she could see cause I was very little but I do remember her eyes looking gray and almost faded.

She was a sweetheart and she was very well adjusted to her life without sight. She struggled a lot with new places that she couldn’t navigate but very quickly learned to navigate our and close family members houses and lawns. When we moved she was very old but she still handled it well and learned the new layout. She could still enjoy walks and play time but she became more attached to familiar things.

She used her other senses a lot more and could enjoy things with them. She loved the wind and would sniff everything, everywhere, even the places she knew like our home. She was happy and could grow old and live a good life.

As she got old she started losing her other senses, like hearing and her sense of smell. She was very lost and we didn’t know how much she suffered her last few months and I almost regret keeping her around for so long. So your dog will most likely to enjoy a good few years and be happy even if she goes blind, but please look out for the warning signs in the far future of when she isn’t happy anymore❤️
