Has anyone seen anything like this? My basset hound girl has been shivering for a little over a month now. She nearly two years old. She's a had a few days here and there when this doesn't happen, but for the most part it's been daily. All of her blood work has come back fine.
She doesn't appear to be in any pain, but just about everything I read about shivering leads to some kind of pain response. She'll go from laying down like you see in the clips to running around playing just minutes later. We just saw a neurologist the other day and the doctor agreed that all of her signs are kind of nebulous. Going to treat her as if she has early stages of disc disease and give her plenty of rest.
Shaking usually happens when she first lays down. If she's distracted, or plays with her toys it seems to go away until she lays down again (it may or may not return once she lays down). For the most part it goes away, or lessens while she's sleeping. Also want to add that she's coherent when it happens so it's not like a full-on seizure or anything like that.
Xrays didn't show anything irregular except for some gas in her intestines so she's been on probiotics for a couple of weeks now. Also on Novox and gabapentin. The plan from the neurologist is to slowly ween her off the meds to see if there is a change in behavior and rule out/confirm that they may be focal seizures or something else.
Edit: I realize that people may not be able to offer medical advice, just posting to see if anyone has seen anything like this and may be able to offer some suggestions on what it could be.
