My good natured Chi-Terrier mix has suddenly been acting very strange. She is shaking, like a trembling. She usually sleeps in the bed, under the covers, between my husband and I, but last night she wouldn't. Kept returning to a spot on the sofa, to lay and tremble. She seems to be in some sort of distress. She's always been sort of a drama queen, but I just know there is something wrong.
Its the weekend, and I would consider taking her to the vet, but they aren't open. I'm just sort of watching her. Other then the shaking, and not wanting to be held, or cuddled she looks alright. She's eating and drinking. She just seems to want to be alone.
Also, a week ago the CAT was sick. Took him to the vet and he had 106 fever, was put on antibiotics and seems alot better. Is there an infection that can be passed between the two do you think?
I'm not rich, and I hate to drop another 500 bucks if its just something that will pass. Of course, if it continues I will take Precious in. She's like one of my kids. Do you think this "wait and see" attitude could be dangerous, or do you think it's appropriate?
Thanks
Take her in as soon as possible even if it's an emergency veterinary clinic. She could be having some seizures, but can also have some type of bug that is making her shake. I wouldn't waste time, my dog is like my child as well and I'd mortgage my house to save her. Good luck
Can you call your vet? I totally understand how you feel about not wanting to spend $$ and find out it is nothing, but not wanting to wait if it is serious.
Has anything changed in your household that might cause stress? How old is she? Does she seem to be in pain?
It sounds as if she's in some kind of pain. I doubt that she got anything from your cat, but she absolutely should be seen by a vet. Hope she's doing better soon.
Bacteria can be spread from one species to another, i.e., cat to dog to human. Not all of them, of course, but some. When I got pneumonia, my first symptom was to awaken from a sound nap shaking like a leaf. My hands were shaking so badly I could hardly dial 911. I believe I was told it was a reaction to the sudden onslaught of the disease. I had no fever (I checked at home first), no headache, no pain, just very bad shaking. Hope your fur-baby is OK. If there is a pet ER, I'd take her in tonight.
JessicaK--hope everything turned out OK. Be sure to keep us posted!!
