concerned about our dogs leg?...

[Michael C.]

I noticed today on our 11 week old that when she is sitting, her left front leg will start to shake. I have been watching her and it's hard to tell if she is limping or not. Sometimes she seems to have slight limp and other times she doesn't.

Should I be concerned about the shaking?

Thanks

I can't help you with the limp without seeing the puppy http://www.rottweiler.net/rottie/smile.gif, but as far as shaking goes, I have seen lots of pups (and full grown dogs) who will occasionally sit or stop suddenly, out of balance, and a leg will shake until they get their weight distributed evenly. It could just be this that's happening. Watch her and see how she distributes her weight when she sits. If it stops when she shifts positions, it's possible that this is all it is.
