My dog is shaking on and off, and acting lethargic. Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Male | neutered | 6 years old | 25 lbs

Poor Jackson! He could be shaking from pain, which would also cause him to be lethargic. At his age, it could be that he is suffering from arthritis. I would rest him tonight, and then have Jackson seen by a vet first thing tomorrow if he's still shaking and acting lethargic. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms, and can treat him for them.
