Some examples are ingesting toxins, problems with the immune system, kidney failure, hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, tumours, spinal cord problems and nerve disease. Most of these problems are treatable. A vet would have to take tests to diagnose the problem. Some dogs will have sudden tremors from nerves or if they are cold.

It could be a sign of epilepsy. If the dog is having seizures it would need to be on medication, you need to consult a vet. Seizures could be fatal.
