Plain-English summary
A dog that ate spoiled food developed severe tremors, which can be a serious condition caused by toxins in the food. It's important for pet owners to recognize this issue quickly, as prompt treatment can lead to a full recovery. Most dogs that receive timely care will overcome the symptoms and return to normal. If you suspect your dog has ingested spoiled food and is showing signs of tremors, it's crucial to get them to the vet right away.

Abstract
Ingestion of tremorgenic mycotoxins formed in spoiled food can cause an acute tremor syndrome, the severity of which can range from mild to life-threatening. Swift recognition of the likely cause is required for accurate prognostication and rapid institution of appropriate therapy, which leads to complete resolution in most cases.
