Why would my dog tremble for no reason?
The most obvious reason would be that perhaps your dog is cold, for reasons being of cool weather conditions (as they shiver and tremble just like humans do in the cold), and maybe the trembling is dependant on the length of your dog's coat, and if it is paticularly short; it is obvious it is more likely to feel the cold. Or perhaps your dog has lost weight and does not have enough fat on him/her to shield itself from the bitterness of the cold. However, more serious issues could concern trembling as one of the symptoms of chronic kidney failure, and other illnesses and diseases like other internal organ failure. Another likely cause of this tremble or shake could be caused by anxiety - perhaps another pet causing him/her to be nervous could be the reason and although this will probably not be the case; physically punishing your dog could cause him to be nervous and frightened in your presence. Or your dog might simply be in pain, and may have something stuck in his/her paw, or aching legs or other related type issues. If the trembling continues or is currently continuous, consult a vet and action will be taken.
Does a dog shiver when it is hurt?
If it's hurt and shivering then it could be going into shock. YES!!! It could be either hurt or it could be scared cause it hears thunder. My dog shivers because he is scared of the thunder, though i can't here it he can hear it. His tail shakes too but he ducks it down by his butt and keeps it across it's belly.
Why do dog shiver when they a lightning storm?
Thunder scares dogs for many reasons. Number one, their hearing is so much better than ours which makes the noise ten times louder. Also, the fact that they cannot see it probably makes them scared as well. My oldest dog was absolutely terrified of thunder because a tree had fallen over in our yard during a storm. She thought that every time thunder hit, a tree would fall. Now, after many years, she is not as afraid.
