Convulsions ?

[umm]

My 2yrold was running around on the floor of my bedroom yesterday for about 2 hours. This isn't really anything new.

Today I noticed when she was standing, her front paw was kind of shaking.

And when I hold her.. her back end kind of shakes..like convulsions. I don't think it's a seizure though, I have never seen her do this before and none of her littermates have ever done it.

Could she have eaten or got into something while she was running around

[umm]

Oh yeah..last night she did eat a grape tomato that was getting old and wrinkled because the first time I gave it to her she burried it..

That's the only thing I can think of right now..

It could've been something she got into on your floor, but it could also be something like a disease of the lower spinal cord or muscles of her back end causing weakness. She's getting to be an older gerb, so I wouldn't leave those two diseases of my list. Is she still doing it? is it getting worse?
