My dog is still shaking after a bath and bug. Should I go to the vet?

Question

Earlier today my dog was fine. Couple hours later he was laying down and shaking . i thought he was cold and I covered him with a blanket. he was still skating 5 mins later . So I then rubbed his belly and saw a black bug crawling on his stomach . I gave him a bath using a flea shampoo. Now that he's 100% dry he's still shaking. Should I bathe him again? Different shampoo? Or go straight to the vet ? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Male | unneutered

Shaking is often a sign of pain. Check BJ over to make sure he's not injured. Please don't give him human pain medication. It doesn't sound like the shaking is from the bug you saw and giving a bath should have gotten rid of it. If all looks normal and he's eating and drinking then keep him quiet and hopefully he'll be back to normal soon. If he continues to shake and he's not eating or feeling well definitely take him to your veterinarian right away.
