My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Has Started To Shudder and Shake

Posted By Lorraine (Illinois) on 02/26/2016

I have an 11.5 year old male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Overall he is in good health except I have noticed he sometimes shudders/shakes for a brief period, a few seconds. It's not really a seizure, but he will be standing and suddenly he shudders/shakes. Sometimes he will lose his balance a little when he's shuddering, and his legs will give out a little, but he usually doesn't fall down completely. But usually he is able to continue standing, but he shudders uncontrollably. He does not appear to be in any pain.

He would do this shuddering movement occasionally, a few times a day. It started to improve and he didn't seem to do it as often but lately he's been doing it several times a day.

It seemed to have started when he had a cornea injury in his left eye, seven months ago, which left him virtually blind in that eye. His eye doctor said he can see some shadow and light. I give him two ointments, three times a day in both eyes to treat his dry eye, NeoPolyDex and Tacrolimus (made by a compounding pharmacy). At first I thought the shuddering was his reaction to the pain from his cornea injury, but when that healed and the shuddering continued, his eye doctor said this is not a reaction to his former eye injury or the eye ointment medication. But unless it was a coincidence, it really seemed to have started when he had his eye injury.

If anyone can shed light on this, I would appreciate what they think might be the cause of his shuddering/shaking and if they know what it might be.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Use only cold pressed castor oil for her eyes and anoint her entire eye twice daily , then once a day.

The shaking and trembling indicate injury to the nervous system so get rid of big pharma medication it will do nothing as they say that "cures are forbidden". All it does is create revenue.

For the nervous system, if you can get gotu kola powder in a health store or Ayurvedic supplies. Then make a tea and for yourself too, as you may need it. Add honey and don't heat it.

All the best. And if it is cancer, do not panic - Essiac is great. Research it. I had this happen years ago to a big dog of mine, but I did not know then what I know today.

Namaste, Om
