My dog has developed tremors in the neck and mid to upper spine area. The tremors are intermittent, lasting 3-5 minutes, and are more like deep shivering or shaking. Jody, the dog, doesn't show any signs of trouble walking, lack of coordination, knuckling, or stumbling, and he doesn't seem disoriented. He has intermittent lower back/joint pain, which has been treated with doggie Ibuprofen. What could be causing these tremors and what should I do?

I have an 18-month-old blue nose pitbull who is white and scratches all the time. I took her to the vet, and they gave me shampoo and pills, which worked for two weeks, but now the scratching has returned. I need help because I love my dog, and she is losing hair on her tail.
