Dog is shaking/possible breathing problems?

were not animal doctors here but the shakeing is common in small dogs it there way of coping in scary situations dachies are very timid at time and get scared

loss of fur is probeley fleas or something else

and the night thing

well he seems from what you told us that hes really stressed

but we are NOT vets I don't wanna be a ***** but if you couldn't afford vet bills you shouldn't have gotten a dog in the first place this dog seems to have mental issues of some sort And a sickness Fur Loss Is NOT good

you should really get this dog to a vet !

if you can not afford it work something out with your vet like you paying small portions at a time instead of it all up front

So yeah hope I helped and sorry if I came off as bitchy

it could be this :Portosystemic (liver) shunt; this potentially fatal congenital condition in which the blood bypasses the liver. When this happens the toxins never get cleaned out of the blood.

the symptoms:small size and poor weight gain; digestive system problems; urinary system problems including excess thirst and urination; and depression, listlessness, uncoordinated movements, or seizures that usually appear shortly after eating

This sounds like a neurological problem. Your dog "vibrating" every few seconds could be seizure related. The hair and skin could be fleas, mange, or an allergy. Also, I should add that dogs shake and shiver when they're in pain, so the dog is likely hurting.

I'm sorry to hear you can't afford a vet, because that is the only solution at this point. Try calling vets in your area to see if someone will set you up on payment arrangements, if not, try looking online for a low cost veterinary clinic.

Dog Shaking When Inhaling

Both of my dogs which are shih tzus do a reverse sneezing/wheezy thing like that. The vet said it could be allergies but I think it may be caused by stress a little bit too because my dog first started doing it when he had a traumatic experience at the groomers and did it very frequently for long periods of time. when he stopped being so freaked out by the groomer thing he started doing it a lot less often. When either of my dogs do it I pick them up and hold them tightly and they stop within a few seconds.

For your dog's skin issues I recommend a powder called 'Flowers of Sulfur' (also known as 'brimstone' or 'sublime sulfur').

This substance has been used for thousands of years to cure all kinds of skin ailments including fungal and bacterial infections and if there is itching, it will stop it very quickly. Google it to learn more about its healing properties.

Even vets have forgotten about this wonderful and inexpensive remedy but fortunately you can still purchase it at your local pharmacy for very little money. You can also buy it online at

Flowers of sulfur is safe to apply to your pet's skin but take care not to inhale sulfur powder.

You can dust and rub this powder on your dog's skin OR mix it with an oil to rub on the skin.

The dusting can easily be accomplished if you use a powdered sugar duster or an empty talcum powder bottle. Separate the hair as you go around dusting to expose the skin until you have covered it.

Alternatively, mix 2 tablespoons of flower of sulfur with 1 cup of Jojoba oil and put it in a bottle. Always shake to mix well before applying to the skin as it tends to separate. This method works well to treat smaller skin areas. You do not need to wear gloves as it is not toxic to humans either.

Try a jacket/sweater (seems dumb) might help with the shivers, for the skin thing you'll have to suck it up and take him in, check out the low cots vet clinics in your area, they have em, frequently
