Why is my puppy shaking, struggling to stand, then walking fine?

Question

Hie, i got two new puppies a month ago, and about a week ago one of the puppies started shaking a lot at first i thought she was cold and tried adding blankets but she would keep shaking i noticed only her legs would shake but it would happen for a few mins and she would be fine, this morning the poor darling couldnt stand up straight she was literally crawling all morning, after a while she started walking properly, the other puppy does not experience this at all, what could it be.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Poppy! I recommend that Poppy be seen by your Vet. Possible causes are distemper virus, a congenital abnormality, toxin ingestion, trauma or a brain issue. Hopefully this is just an injury that needs time to resolve but it is hard for me to say with out examining her or seeing a video. It may be very helpful for you to video tape an episode so your Vet can help you the best they can. I hope this helps and I wish Poppy a speedy recovery!
