Why is my 6-year-old Yorkie shivering but acting completely normal?

Question

Hi I have a six-year-old yorkie and she's been shivering now for a couple of days do you have any idea what it maybe. She still eats and drinks water like normal and walks and runs as usual there is no discharge so I doubt she in heat. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | unspayed | 6 years and 10 months old | 16 lbs

Sprinkles could have a uterine infection, mild herniated disc in her back or even a mild case of pancreatitis. As long as she is eating and drinking and acting 100% normal you may be ok to watch her for another day or so. But if she gets worse, has decreased activity/energy, or stops eating/drinking or has a vaginal discharge she needs to get checked out by her veterinarian. Do not give any human medication as it can be very toxic to dogs.
