Rainbow could have a fever causing the shivering and a respiratory infection causing the running nose. When a pregnant dog is sick, it is good for them to see a vet, but I would take her temperature first to decide if she needs to see a vet now or in the morning. A dog's normal temperature is 101-102.5F, and if Rainbow's is above 103F, I would have her seen by a vet now. Otherwise, keep her warm and comfortable tonight, gently warm wet food to tempt her to eat, and have her seen by a vet in the morning.
