A mother's instinct is usually more precise than medicine. OR at least that
is what my mom told me ;-)

I think I finally figured out why he was shivering!!! The same week
that he started shivering is when he got his booster shot and I also
changed his food. He was previously eating the Royal Canin Kitten
formula but I changed him to the Wellness Kitten Super5 mix as it is a
better quality food. Well, I had a brainwave and thought maybe
there's something in the Wellness food that he's allergic to and is
causing the shiver. I therefore switched him back to the Royal Canin
to test out my theory....

It has been 6 days now and I have not seen one single shiver!!!! I'm
keeping my fingers crossed that this is what the problem was.

Has anyone every heard of a allergy symptom being a shiver? I can
only assume that if the food wasn't agreeing with him it was causing
his body distress/pain and this resulted in the shiver. Weird thing
is that his poop seemed fine and he never vomited. Poor little guy.
All seems well now though... I'll continue to monitor him.

So I took him to the vet and they couldn't find anything wrong with
him. He doesn't have a fever, and is behaving in a healthy manner
(eating, playing, gaining weight, etc). But he's still
shivering/tremoring when he closes his eyes for a sleep...

The vet thinks it might be a reaction to the booster shot or just his
nervous system developing.

Does anyone have any other thoughts?
