If the dog has a disease in the cervical spine, such as atlantoaxial damage, there will be a slight tremor of the head, while another type of tremor is neurological, such as the tremor caused by impaired thyroid function in Parkinson’s patients. If it is accompanied by vomiting, blood in the stool, or high fever, consider distemper and take the dog to the vet immediately. The initial symptoms of distemper are a temperature of 39.5 to 41 degrees Celsius, loss of appetite, depression, watery discharge from the eyes and nose, sneezing, and diarrhea. Late onset of canine distemper results in typical neurological symptoms, foaming at the mouth and convulsions.
