My dog's back legs are shaking after itch shots. Is this serious?

Question

My dog just got injection for itching. He got 12 injections in 3 days from the vet. And now his back legs are shivering. Is this serious. I'm very worried about him.

Sara Farmer, DVM · Accepted Answer

Muscle tremors in the back legs can be a sign of pain, anxiety, or a neurologic problem. It's difficult to know if the injections might be related without knowing exactly what they were. If the tremors are the only symptom and your dog is not walking normally and does not seem painful you might be safe to monitor this weekend and see your vet when they open. If your dog is weak, having trouble walking, appears painful or has other symptoms like a decreased appetite or vomiting I'd recommend seeing an emergency veterinarian.
