Be sure to continue to monitor your pet as closely as possible and keep a close relationship with your local Veterinarian. There are many complications that can arise during pregnancy. This shivering and panting may be due to exertion. You'll want to be sure to provide her with plenty quiet time to rest and a very comfortable place lay down.
