I have a shiba inu who is a little over a year. A few months ago she had very bad trembling issue and seemed out of it and disoriented. I took her to the vet and they believed it was Addison's disease, however a Shiba inu breeder told me the breed isn't susceptible to that and they can test positive for it but it is really Pacific Rimism. However pacific rimism does not seem to correlate with the symptoms of shaking, it just explains the high level of potassium in her system. Is it possible that she could have shaker syndrome?

I have a 14 year old Westie that has sporadic whole body shakes that would more accurately be described as spasms or shudders. They last about 5 seconds, then she is fine and doesn't seem to have been in any pain This started about a year ago, and would occur a few times a day. They gradually have become more frequent and occurs multiple times every hour now. The severity of the spasms is sometimes such that when she is standing on a slippery wood floor, her legs give out and she falls. These spasms occur more frequently (although not exclusively) when she is active than when she is at rest. Because she is clearly not in pain, and because she is old and has a number of other health issues (inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, sick sinus syndrome, blindness due to cataracts), we have not pursued this any further than ruling out the obvious causes related to her other maladies. In researching whether she is suffering from Shaker Syndrome, I find no description of symptoms that reveal if the shaking is an on-going thing (although I realized it could ebb and flow), or whether it is possible to have Shaker Syndrome and go through just sporadic spasms like I described with my dog.

Hi, my dog was given sedatives 3 hours ago, along with painkiller and antibiotics shots and she is shaking now. Is it normal? Today we took her to the hospital to clean some of the wounds caused by traumatic fall. She had a diaphragmatic hernia surgery a week ago. Please advice. Thank you

Can any breed/mix of small dog develop Shaker Syndrome? Even if they're sable in color and turning 7 in October 2017? My girl Kassie will be 7, shes a "Pomchi" (Pomeranian/Chihuahua mutt) and has suddenly developed whole body shaking in the past 2-3 years. She seems conscious, and gets scared and tries to get to me. After shes done being stiff and shaking (2-3 minutes an episode max), she seems normal, and sometimes wants to nap. Then she's off being her usual self, running and playing, eating and drinking normally, urinating and defecating like usual. Her father was a Cream Pom, and her mother a white and black long haired Chi, if the coloring of the parents could affect this at all. She's a 1-2 pounds over "Pet weight", and by no means obese. She does have a allergy to the protein in flea saliva, and is taking Temaril P for it. She has these attacks few and far in between, and never more than 1 attack per episode. Last Friday was an exception, as she has one longer one (4-5 minutes) and a "mini" one shortly after. I do have a vet appointment, but I'd like to be able to do some research and ask him some questions during the visit.
