What is the reason why dogs keep twitching?

Dogs that always twitch may be caused by neurological diseases, canine distemper, or calcium deficiency. Dogs suffering from neurological diseases may twitch from time to time and may also walk crookedly. Dogs suffering from canine distemper will have convulsions in the later stages. At the same time, the dog will have symptoms such as increased eye and nose secretions, lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, and bloody stools. If a dog is deficient in calcium for a long time, it will cause convulsions. It is recommended to feed special calcium tablets for pets.
