Hi Stephanie,

I don't know that this is necessarily a JRT "thing" though I do happen to have a terrier whose right front leg occasionally trembles when she is sitting or lying down. We've run tests, had her front end x-rayed, looked for a pattern (too much/little exercise), etc and she is totally sound.

I recommend you do the same for your little guy. If there is a problem, it's best you find it -- and fix it -- now.
