Yes, shaking in dogs is usually a sign of pain. I recommend a veterinary exam to see if there is a reason Buddie is shaking. Chihuahuas can have back problems, luxating patellas and other orthopedic issues that may be causing discomfort. Your veterinarian will check his legs and back and may recommend an X-ray. They may try Buddie on some pain medication also to see if the shaking resolves. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Buddie.
