My dog keeps shaking

Hello

I have two Jack Russell dogs. The female is about 4 years old and my male is about 5 years old. My male some times shakes and I do not know why. Do dogs have panic attacks.

Yes, I do believe that dogs sometimes have episodes similar to panic attacks if they are afraid. Do the episodes have a cause, does the dog appear to be scared? I would definately discuss this with your vet to rule out any neurological issues or other health problems.

I agree with Teri. Take him to your vet to rule out any health problems. Good luck and keep us posted.

Btw, post your update in the Health Forum. Also, welcome to the forum and we'd love to see pics of your furkids.
