I completely understand why you're worried about your Alaskan Malamute's sudden paralysis and eye tremors. That certainly sounds distressing. These symptoms could be due to several potential causes, including a neurological issue like a spinal injury, a stroke, or even a condition called myasthenia gravis, which affects the communication between nerves and muscles. In some cases, an infectious disease or a toxin could also be responsible.
At home, ensure your dog remains comfortable and try to prevent any further injury by limiting their movement. Soft bedding can help ease any pressure on joints. It's essential, however, to monitor for signs of a more serious problem, like difficulty breathing, changes in appetite, or any new symptoms.
Given these symptoms, it’s crucial not to delay further. Watch for signs like worsening tremors, fever, or any changes in behavior, which could indicate an emergency.
I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They can help evaluate your dog's condition more thoroughly and guide you on the next steps. Take care, and I hope your Malamute feels better soon!
