Trembling head - distemper?

Hi there

This is the issue with my little puppy.

I picked him up alone from the street june 12 (a week and a half ago). The poor guy was full of fleas (he is at the most two months old).

We gave him a bath for fleas but still was full of them, so I went and bought a spot on treatment, and looked like finally we got ride of the (that was around 11 pm).

Next morning I took him to the vet, he gave him a vaccine, an antibiotic and a shot for the parasites.

Since then, he's been trembling 24/7 pretty much, his little head, his right side keeps trembling non stop (no seizures), he keeps eating really well but you can clearly see he is in pain.

Although the trembling looks like is not getting worse (or any better for that matter) now he is limping in his front right leg and it makes really sad to see him like a that.

Des he haves any hopes? The main reason for his pain is the constant trembling, I don't know if it was caused by the spot on treatment of the vaccines but it hasn't gotten any better.

Can we do something to stop it? What choices do we have?

Hi Dr. Marie, thanks for your reply.

I've been taking him to the vet every second day, i took him to the vet this morning.

The vet even made a test to see if he has distemper and it came back negative, the nose looks good as well (he says its one of the first signs of distemper).

So if he doesn't have distemper, and is not flea treatment related, we dont have any clue whats causing him this disconfort.

The only other option i see is the vaccine, it was the type thats is knows as "quintuple vaccine" meaning it has 5 "benefits" he cried quite a bit after the Doc apply it.

The trembling in his body is constant, the right side keeps contracting and thats what is causing him the pain now. The movement in the head is back and forth, but doesnt seem to bother him as much as his right side (and front leg).

We are just giving him some light anxiety pills (for the stressed dog) but it doest seems to make much of a change.

Is valium an option? Is there a medication to ease off the trembling?

Please let me know your best thoughts about this, if i have to pay some more money i'll gladly will.

Thanks

Hi Dr. Marie, i aprecciate you taking the time to answer back.

This is really turning into a Dr. House epidose, i really would like your help and you can be confidente i won't do anything regarding any advice you may give me before taking him to the vet.

I want to explain what happened yesterday.

Since the poor puppy right side keeps trembling for at least 20 hours a day non stop, the doc recommend Anxitane M&L to try to relax him a bit, we ave giving 1 tablet a day, half at 9 am and half at 9 pm.

Yesterday the poor guy was crying a lot from 9 am until like 4 pm, sleeping at times and the rest just crying and crying, pretty much lying in the same spot, if he walked was limping from his front right leg.

At 7 pm, for some reason he was happy, RUNNING barking out of happiness, like if nothing was ever wrong with him, that lasted like 3 hours, then we went to sleep and by midnight he was back crying again.

What is this about, how can he be happy and running, feeling 100% for 3 hours (trembling just a little bit) then the rest he's trembling a lot more, limping and crying?

I really have no idea whats going on, but you can be sure this is exactly what is happening, just as a im describing in here.

Please take a look and help me out, if i need to pay another 8 or 15 bucks please just send me the link.

Thanks Doc!
