My dog is shaking and panting a lot, but seems normal. What's wrong?

Question

My dog is shaking a lot and panting a lot. She's a little overweight and has been acting normal all day. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 7 years and 11 months old | 70 lbs

I'm sorry to hear that Lola is not acting herself. Shaking and panting could be signs of several different things such as pain, anxiety or early signs of illness. If she's acting normal otherwise, I would watch her closely. If she goes back to her normal self tomorrow, there is probably nothing to worry about. If she continues this tomorrow, especially if other signs of illness develop, I would take her to a veterinarian. Please do not give her any over the counter human medication such as aspirin, ibuprofen or Tylenol as these can have serious side effects in animals. If you feel that she is in pain, it would be best to take her to a veterinarian tonight.
