Pearl is doing something,NOT normal..please help!!!
I have been sooo cold that my teeth chatter. I think everyone has been THAT cold.....so you all can relate to this..... BUT~~ This is what happened~~~~~~~~ Dino and I just came home from Walmart. Temps here are about 40 but the sun is shining and no wind. As usual, I went to the back door to let everyone out to pee. Remember I just shaved Pearl down to nothing. They are out maybe 3 to 5 minutes~ They come in, and are walking around as Dino and I empty bags of stuff from Walmart. (NOW here is the weird part.) We start hearing 'chattering', we both stop, look around to see where the heck this strange noise was coming from, and as we are looking at Pearl, we hear the 'chattering' again!!! Pearl's teeth were chattering!! She was NOT shaking, I felt her and her body was warm, her ears were coldish...but....TEETH CHATTERING??? She seems to be fine, she ate parts of our sandwiches and still every once in a while the chattering continued. With her age and all, I am a little concerned..........  In addition, for the last couple of weeks, she has been 'going' in the house, like she almost is not aware of it, sometimes she will walk back and forth from the front door to the back door, almost obsessively AND it takes her about 30 seconds to lay down, moving her legs very slowly and FINALLY going down.What's up with that?????? Comments , suggestions..theories???? I don't think I ever saw a thread about teeth chattering in dogs???? |

| val, my guy did it occasionally as he got older and we couldn't find any problems such as bad teeth. so it appeared to just be excitement. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ... 555AAfbVSv  |
Val, Simon does it now too. He never used to, but he does it now, probably for the past year.  I don't see it real often, maybe once a week on average. Sometimes more often, and sometimes it's gone for awhile...and it always comes back. |
| Thanks~~ Again, never heard of it and after reading a few articles, it seems as if it is just another sign of old age~~ |
| The slow on going down is most likely arthritis in her lower spine. Just taking time to find the least painful way to change positions. AS for the teeth chattering.. don't know about that in the girls. I've seen it in the boys & it is usually from them getting excited around a female. |
| Yes, I have seen my male dog do it - and he is only five. Its a strange thing to see actually. But its not often and doesn't last more than a few seconds...And, yes, he does it it seems when he is excited about something... I hope I have teeth to chatter when I get old! |

My thought too, though I have seen Sybil do it on occasion after sniffing something *really* exciting (to her...) Val - how good was that sandwich you offered her part of?  i think there are worse things, Val. Try not to worry too much. Kristine |
