Puppy has tremors on front legs

I might be over reacting but I’ve noticed that my 4 month old puppy has short tremors on her front legs when she is sitting down. It is the leg that she has no pressure on and they are short only a few seconds at a time but they are persistent.
I haven’t asked my vet about them and wanted to know if anyone has had this happen?
Is it normal and I’m just being a worry wart?

Re: Puppy has tremors on front legs

you mean she is a otherwise healthy puppy that sits and kinds of hold a leg in a not much weight bearing way and shakes it for a moment(trembling-like), then gets up and runs around normal? if that's the case, i have seen that and it's pretty normal.
if pup has other problems, vaccine history is unknown, has tremors in different places and times, have it checked to rule out distemper or other nervous system problems.

Re: Puppy has tremors on front legs

My vet did a health check a few weeks ago when I brought her in for her buster shots and he gave her a clean bill of health I forgot to mention the shacky legs.
She runs, wrestles with Jade-Da or a cat if she can catch one and jumps ‘boy does she love to jump!’ as a normal healthy pup would.
Other then yucky stuff on her eyes every once and a while she seems fine.
