The main clinical sign of this disorder is a tremor of high frequency and low intensity of head, trunk and limbs. The diagnosis is based on the signalment, the historical, and examinations, physical, neurological and laboratory.

Cases Two mixed breed dogs, one Shih tzu and one Poodle, being three females and one male, aged between four and six years, with a history of generalized tremors between one and seven days, which ceased when they slept, were presented to a veterinary neurologist at the Veterinary Medical teaching Hospital of the UFSM. The onset of clinical signs was acute, with no progressive evolution. The dogs had no history of intoxication, trauma, or use of medications.
