Why is my Pomeranian shaking and acting off after a couch jump?

Question

I have a 2 yr old pom, she's shaking on and off since this afternoon. Nothing seems wrong she's just shaking and acting different. It's not a hard shaking. She did according to my daughter, jump off the couch today and yelp, but no obvious thing is wrong. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | unspayed | 2 years old | 5 lbs

A very common cause of shaking and acting "off" in dogs is neck or back pain, often due to a pinched nerve or herniated disc. This could have occurred when Faizy jumped off the couch today. Or, she could have abdominal pain, or some other type of injury that isn't visible from the outside. If she is eating and drinking normally and acting okay otherwise, you could opt to restrict her exercise tonight and monitor her to see if the problem resolves by morning. If not, I would recommend taking her to the vet tomorrow for an exam - he/she can do x-rays or other testing if needed to help determine the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment.
