My dog is panting and trembling, not drinking. Should I be concerned?

Question

My pet dog (Lucy) is panting alot and trembling, I tried to give her water but she wouldn't take any. It is not too hot and she doesn't appear to be pain or injuries, should I be concerned or is this normal?

Poor Lucy! Panting and trembling are often signs of pain in dogs, so I would be concerned that something may be hurting her. She may also be anxious or not feeling well for some reason. If she is still doing this, I would definitely recommend taking her to the vet for an exam - he/she can check her carefully for any areas of pain or discomfort, and may also recommend blood work and x-rays to help determine what is bothering her.
