My older (almost 13yr) JRT has been shaking (even when sleeping/calm or just standing) for about a year now constantly. Occasionally he'll be still but he just shakes. He's been to the vet for his regular shots and the vet just thought he was nervous for being there but it is constant and not just when he's excited/nervous/etc. I am assuming its just old age... but I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this with their Jacks getting older or if it may be a medical condition I need to have the vet look into further?

My jack russell was constantly shaking and losing weight. She is 11 years old. She was diagnosed with Addisons disease, she now gets a Percorten injection every 25 days.

My JRT shakes when he has to go out to do his business. I first noticed it in the car. I think he was worried that he would go in the car, so I let him out, he did his business, and the shaking stopped. I've learned now, that whenever he shakes, he needs to go outside. But a constant shake, I would think, is a medical condition.

My JRT shakes when she's anxious & especially when her "daddy" is not home.
