"Shaking puppy syndrome" in Weimaraners: three cases in one litter. First clinical diagnosis in Uruguay
Three one-month-old Weimaraner puppies of the same litter, two males and one female, showed whole body tremors that had been increasing during the week before consulting. The rhythmical tremors had been worsening as a response to different ambient stimuli or intention (i.e. suckling or feeding), physical exercise and excitement, but the tremors stopped when the puppies sleep. Physical examination and others studies suggested a «shaking puppy syndrome» caused by delayed myelination. The only observed serologic alteration was positive titers to Neospora caninum in the three puppies and the mother. In the present case, the neurological signs improved in a period of six months allowing a normal life. The present case is the first report of the disease in Uruguay.

Tres cachorros de un mes de edad, de una misma camada de la raza Weimaraner, dos machos y una hembra, fueron traídos a consulta presentando temblores generalizados que afectaban todo el cuerpo incrementándose su intensidad en la última semana. Los temblores rítmicos empeoraban ante distintos estímulos ambientales o por intención (al mamar o comer), con el ejercicio físico o excitación pero los temblores se detenían durante el sueño. Por el examen clínico y estudios colaterales se diagnosticó «shaking puppy síndrome» o síndrome del cachorro temblador provocado por un retraso en la mielinización. La única alteración encontrada en los estudios realizados a los cachorros fue serología positiva a Neospora caninum al igual que en la madre. En el presente caso los signos neurológicos remitieron en un período de 6 meses, permitiendo a los 3 animales llevar una vida normal, siendo este su primer reporte en Uruguay.
