Dreaming should be considered the most common cause of twitching in dogs. If the dog has a good quality of sleep, when they reach deep sleep, they will dream frequently and at the same time the puppy may have shaking limbs and belly twitching. This is a normal phenomenon and the owner should not worry too much. If the dog is twitching abnormally, we need to consider whether it is suffering from epilepsy. Epilepsy is due to excessive excitation of certain nerve cells in the brain, resulting in sudden transient abnormalities in brain function. When a dog has a seizure, he will have perceptual disturbances, convulsions, behavioral disturbances, etc. Like humans, a calcium deficiency in dogs may also lead to seizures. The dog’s body develops rapidly during puppyhood, with small dogs reaching adulthood before they are 1 year old, and larger ones may be slower. Before a dog is 1 year old is the time when a dog needs calcium the most.
