On 12-16-07 and 12-17-07 Abby started running from place to place to lie down for 2-10 minutes and then repeats. She seems to have a muscle quiver/spasm on left shoulder. I did put Seargent's tick,flea medicine on her on 12-15 and she did try to jump in a truck and fell off a few days ago, but she was fine till 5p.m. on 12-16.

I don't think this is related to the truck incident or to the tick+flea treatment. Is she actually scratching herself or rubbing? It may be that if she has had fleas recently that she has learnt this behaviour in response to itchiness. Also it could be entirely behavioural response to some other event. It doesn't sound like something to worry too much about- if you try to observe it without interacting with her it should either disappear or the reason for it become clear.

My dog Kiki was doing that a year ago, he'll lay down for a while and get back up and do it again and it was like he was shivering. I'm not sure if it the same symptoms but when we brought him to the vet, he was diagnosed with diabetes.
