Why is my puppy s hind legs shaking? Let me tell you the answer!

I believe everyone has encountered dogs trembling in the process of raising dogs. So why do dogs often tremble? Let the editor tell you why below and see which type your dog belongs to!

1. Calcium deficiency

It is when the puppy is growing. If the puppy has a single diet or is malnourished for a long time, when the puppy is severely deficient in calcium, it will cause weakness in the hind leg muscles and trembling for a long time. In this case, it is recommended to give the dog a reasonable diet and maintain a balanced nutritional intake. For example, feed the dog calcium-rich foods such as dried shrimps and kelp. You can also supplement the dog with calcium preparations, and you can often take the dog outdoors to bask in the sun, which will help the absorption of calcium.

2. Injury to hind legs

Puppies are naturally more lively and active. If their hind legs suddenly tremble after going out to play, it may be that their hind legs are injured and they will tremble due to pain. At this time, the owner should carefully check the puppy's hind legs to see if there is any obvious trauma and whether the bones are normal. If there is trauma, the bleeding needs to be stopped immediately, the wound needs to be flushed with saline, disinfected and then anti-inflammatory drugs applied. If a hind leg is fractured, you need to go to a pet hospital to take a X-ray to determine the fracture condition, and then treat it with external or internal fixation.

3. The weather is too cold

When the weather is cold in winter, if the puppy’s limbs touch the cold ground, or the body lies directly on the cold ground, the cold will cause the hind legs to tremble unconsciously. This situation is easier to solve. You just need to keep the puppy warm, prepare a warm kennel, and then observe whether the puppy continues to tremble. If the puppy stops shaking, it's usually fine.
