Shivering/ shaking

Squidgy was fine at 6am this morning - he had his breakfast, no problems and behaving as normal. I've just been to see him and he was not acting in his normal manner and looks a little strange. Nothing that anyone who doesn't know him would notice though.
I noticed he was shivering/ shaking his whole body for a few seconds at a time. He lives inside, so shouldn't be cold but I've popped a snugglesafe down for him and also syringed some cooled boiled water into him in case he's got himself a little dehydrated.
Any ideas as to what it could be?
 
Hmm, usually another indication of pain :? Has he got a bit of gas do you think? Usually Fliss goes like this when she has tummy problems :?
Big vibes to him :love:
 
Thanks Jay.
I think he may have a little wind. I've massaged his tummy as well, and will just monitor him throughout the day. He's not hiding away and still wants fuss, he's just not quite right.
 
Well, he's back to normal now. Did give me a bit of a scare though, as he's never exhibited those symptoms before. I'll be monitoring him very carefully. He is at least 7 years old now though, so I guess we should expect little idiosyncracies.
 
he didnt eat anything he shouldnt have did he and his body was having a reaction to it? Dandilion had a funny turn like that and i took her to the vets and he said she could have nibbled a bit of paint or wallpaper etc which could have piosionered her slightly:(- i watched her and like yours everything went back to normal after an afternoon of the fear:? x
