My dogs legs still do it. I think its to do with the nerves in the legs

My old girl does this with her back legs when she's lying down, but I do remember some puppies that have done this. Probably as she grows the nerve will settle, but I'm sure she is one very excited little puppy anyway!

I took my Ava Bella to the vet 2 days ago for the same thing; left front leg trembling. Vet stated she might have a sprain/strain. This I hear is common with the bassett, but uncertain about your breed. Anyway, Vet states it is nothing to worry about; don't let the pup jump from a bed, etc ... and she will heal and be stronger for it. Vet states pups legs do not finish developing for up to a year. Could this be it?
