The exquisite and charming appearance and lively, intelligent personality of the Pomeranian are deeply loved by people, but when the Pomeranian falls ill, it causes pet owners great anxiety. Intermittent twitching pain in Pomeranians is also a common problem many pet owners face. Generally, it can be identified based on other accompanying symptoms and is mainly divided into the following four categories:

1. Twitching caused by cold and high fever: In autumn and winter, the temperature drops. If the Pomeranian’s fur is not dried promptly after bathing or if there is excessive alternation between hot and cold, it can easily catch a cold. Like humans, Pomeranians can develop upper respiratory infections or even pneumonia, all of which can cause fever, leading to convulsions, intermittent twitching, and other symptoms. Therefore, when intermittent twitching pain in a Pomeranian is found, we should immediately check its temperature and observe whether sneezing and runny nose accompany it to rule out a cold.

2. Twitching caused by low calcium or malnutrition: For new pet owners, most only buy a single type of dog food or neglect their dog’s picky eating habits and feed human food. They ignore calcium supplementation and other nutritional problems, resulting in insufficient calcium intake for the Pomeranian. Calcium plays a role in inhibiting excessive excitation of the nervous system, especially for pregnant and lactating dogs. Untimely calcium supplementation and malnutrition can directly cause twitching in the dog. In severe cases, the Pomeranian may experience full-body twitching and even death.

3. Twitching caused by toxic epilepsy: After ruling out causes such as cold, calcium deficiency, and malnutrition leading to intermittent twitching pain in the Pomeranian, we should also observe the dog’s living environment to further exclude the possibility of poisoning. For example, poisoning from gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, or chemicals such as arsenic. This type of poisoning often manifests as intermittent twitching pain, accompanied by foamy vomiting.

4. Intermittent twitching caused by psychological problems: In addition, severe environmental changes or adverse environmental stimuli, such as excessive scolding or fright, can cause some Pomeranians to develop hysterical twitching (related to the dog’s own physical constitution and personality). This intermittent twitching usually does not accompany obvious coma. This type of Pomeranian intermittent twitching pain requires medication prescribed by a veterinarian, and pet owners should provide extra care, stroking, and comfort.

What causes intermittent twitching pain in Pomeranians? The above is the related introduction. If we cannot find the cause timely, we must promptly take our beloved dog to the pet hospital to let professional veterinarians help relieve the twitching, and even save the dog’s life in critical times.
