ThxHorsexlover · 07-19-2007, 07:19 PM

Need help with my dog!!
She keeps shaking and crying!
Its been going on for about three days now...
She did have an ear ache, but could that
cause the shaking and crying??
I am also new here I have been browsing the forum
but was to lazy to sign up!!

Well my name is Deanna and im from Georgia!

Nice to meet you all!

I'm going to say you need a vet ASAP.

Could be an ear infection to cause shaking as it can cause inbalance, siesure like activities, etc....I would get it to the vet though, it sounds like she's in pain...

Hi from Florida is The dog just shaking her head if so it is possible she has ear mites.

AlbertaGirl · 07-19-2007, 07:27 PM

Welcome to HT!

Yes, I'm also unclear on whether you mean she's shaking her head, or her body is shaking uncontrollably..?

joschrock · 07-19-2007, 07:29 PM

Hi and Welcome! Yes, we need a little more info on your pooch. Age? Any other symptoms? When did the symptoms start? Could she have gotten into anything? Is she scared of storms? Does she have a fever? Vomitting and/or diarrhea?

ThxHorsexlover · 07-19-2007, 07:33 PM

Hi guys.
Thank you for your advice and questions.
She is shaking her whole body though she is a chiwawa.
I am more worried about the crying.
Thank you for the welcomes!!

ThxHorsexlover · 07-19-2007, 07:36 PM

So she is shaking herself, as in a dog shaking off water? Just wanting to make sure it's not an uncontrollable thing...

ThxHorsexlover · 07-19-2007, 07:42 PM

here she is RooRoo
And her puppy Dot

I was also wondering if she looks like a mutt?

Yes your right if I tell her to stop it she will

AlbertaGirl · 07-19-2007, 07:59 PM

My guess is that the ear ache (or is it an infection?) is still bothering her. Did she have medication? I think she needs to go to the vet... Are her ears upright or down? I believe floppy ears are more prone to ear problems.

They are very cute dogs

, kinda look like Jack Russell/Chihuahuas to me...

joschrock · 07-19-2007, 08:02 PM

Kindof sounds like an ear thing going on. Peek inside her ears and take a sniff. If there is a foul odor or black debris, it is mostly like an ear infection. She looks like a rat terrier x Chihuahua mix. Very cute!

NHIceGSD · 07-19-2007, 08:04 PM

Our pit had the same symptoms when he was around 3-4.... it actually turned out to be a liver imbalance. He turned out just fine, but I would definatly go to your vet asap.

joustinggirl · 07-19-2007, 08:08 PM

Shaking and crying could be signs of any kind of pain. Neck, back, disc, ear or anal glands. The list goes on.

ThxHorsexlover · 07-19-2007, 08:15 PM

Humm..
Thank you alot guys for all your input!!!
It all sounds very true!!
yes she does look like a terrier huh!!

we paid 400.00 for a mutt!!

i love her all the same!!
ok guys i smelled and looked in her ear!! and ekkk....

I guess ill get her to the vet tommorrow.
Any other suggestions feel free to run them by me!!!

My thoughts Exactly!! and yes big floppy ears tend to give the pups/dogs problems. My boxer with non-croped ears is always battling infections and I use yeast infection cream (anti-fungual cream for women) same as what most vet give but only in a more liquid form. Best to have her cheacked before putting anything in them though!

Oh and welcome!!!
