Why is my Doberman puppy's leg shaking? What's the cause and how to stop it?

Question

I have a 3 months old Doberman puppy. His one front leg shakes continuously. Sometimes it does stop. Other than this he is active and plays and also eats well. What might be the cause of shaking and how can i stop it? Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Male | unneutered

That is quite strange! It coudl be from anxiety or a muscle spasm. It could also be from an injury but I would expect he would be limping on it as well. I would try to take a video of it and show your vet when you go in for your next visit. You could try benadryl to see if this calms his nerves a little but it may not help. If it gets worse, you may want to have your vet take a look at it sooner than his next check up. Your vet may want to take x-rays to ensure he isn't having any issues with his spine, neck, or that particular leg. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/#
