My dog is lethargic and shaking. When should I worry and see a vet?

Question

My dog is acting lethargic and shaking. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 years and 7 months old

She is probably experiencing a gastrointestinal condition that is very painful (that would explain the shivering). It could be a simple gastrointestinal infection but it could also be something more serious such as liver failure, pancreatitis or a foreign body ingestion. I recommend taking her to the vet as soon as you can in order to get this condition diagnosed and treated.
