Question
our 11 month jackrussel x has always had a tremor in her back leg,for the last week this tremor/shake has increased to all legs and body,but,only when she is lying down or relaxing getting ready to sleep,or sitting.during sleep the problem {if there is one} dramaticly declines to just a few shakes {like she is dreaming}.the vet has checked her hips when i took her for her first consultation and every thing was fine.she shows no sign of distress.

Answer
Hi there,

I'm not sure by your question - - is this "tremor" a *problem?*  Or is it just something you're wondering about?

It sounds like it really shouldn't cause a problem.  It's just irritating and causes you some concern.  Perhaps a chiropractor could help - you can ask around for a referral, or go to www.avcadoctors.com.  

Good luck,

Dr Larry
