It's concerning that both of your dogs are showing signs of weakness and tremors simultaneously. This sudden change could indicate a serious condition, especially since both dogs are affected at the same time.
- Monitor their behavior and any additional symptoms.
- Consider possible exposure to toxins or shared environmental factors.
- Immediate veterinary evaluation may be necessary.
This situation requires prompt attention as it might involve toxin exposure, infectious disease, or another serious condition affecting both dogs. Weakness and tremors can be signs of an emergency, especially when they occur suddenly in multiple pets, so I recommend seeking veterinary care as soon as possible to ensure their safety.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
