i think there is something wrong with my toy poodle?
I have about a 7 or ten year old toy poodle... we have had her since i was little. But recently she has been getting what we think are muscle spasms... were not exactly sure... she sorta tenses up in her legs and cant walk.. she gets really shaky at first.. it passes with in a few minutes. but can anyone tell me what it is and how serious it is.. and what we should do about it?

Possibly petit mal seizures? Definitely worth a call to your vet.

Call your vet, sounds like a seizure. They are more common in pets than people think. Keep a log of when she has them and for how long. Make sure shes still eating and drinking. The more information you can give the vet, the better.

Yep...the smaller the breed, the more hyper it is! Standard size poodles are a little calmer, but the toy breed can have the personality of a terrier. Make sure she's getting enough excercise and play time...a tired dog is a well-behaved dog!

OMG! Is it like seizure? My dog starts shaking then her legs get all tense and like her muscles are out of control, she has no control over her legs and arms. Its passes within 5 minutes but once it lasted 20. The doctors could never figure out whats wrong with her so we just love her and make her feel safe during her seizures

Sounds like your pet's blood sugar is dropping low.Make sure it is eating good,as this will cause a pet to tremble.Next time it has this episode try giving it a dab of plain honey,or Karo syrup on its tongue and if it is low blood sugar,this will prevent the episode and stop it.If it doesn't see your vet.

She could be having minor seizures. Take her in to the vet to get a full physical and describe her symptoms to the vet. They'll probably be able to get her on medication to control the spasms.

It sounds like she's having a seizure. This is a neurological problem and can lead to early death if not treated.

It could be mild seizures. Take her to a vet. Time won't fix it if it happens frequently.

It could be something neurological. Get her to the vet...

My first thought is seizures. Please have your vet check her out.
