Trembling back leg after zoomies

[handsomesmom]

Hi everyone!

My sweet boy Handsome turned 4 years old and he's still as energetic and into "parkour" as if he was a puppy!

I noticed in the past year that maybe 1 out of every 5 sessions of strenuous exercises or intensely fast zoomies, one of his back legs will shake/tremble once he stops and stands still. It happened again today at the small dog park area. I immediately felt over the entire leg, and the trembling stopped and he literally has no pain when I touch any part of his entire leg.
He acts like nothing even happened! He can also immediately put all his weight on that formerly-trembling leg and go on with his day with no other issues.

Can someone explain that this momentary shaking might be? Should I be worried? He's been eating and drinking totally normally at all times during these strange "episodes". :mellow:

Thank you!

Cheli does this sometimes and I think it is just, for him, anyway... he is still just so excited that he can't control it. Could that be it?

Keep an eye on him but if he's not in pain then I would agree that he is probably just excited. Wally is VERY excitable and shakes from time to time when he's playing.

I think you're both absolutely right! It always happens in the middle of a very exciting fun time. Thank you!

Beezy is like this all the time — after zoomies, when we get outside and there's "stuff" going on, or when she sees a cat or bird. I call her my little tweeker because it's like she's all hopped up on teh dr00gz or something. I think it's just an excitement disorder.

I was told this was a very calm, very laid back breed.

No kidding!! This is why we went with a Frenchie because Uma being a terrier NEVER stops and I wanted a laid back brother for her. Not what I got!

We had a bully that would do that every once in awhile. I wouldn't worry about it.

Buster shakes when he is excited, too!
