Shaking in senior dogs can have several causes. While it could be a normal response to cold, it can also indicate pain, muscle weakness, orthopedic issues like arthritis, or even neurological problems. As dogs age, they can become more sensitive to temperature and have less muscle mass. Keep your dog warm and comfortable. If the shaking is persistent, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms like lameness or lethargy, a veterinary check-up is recommended to identify and manage any underlying conditions. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
