Why is my anxious dog shaking and panting when waking or before bed?

Question

Why was my dog shaking and panting this morning when she woke up and before going to sleep? She's normally a very anxious dog and shakes when she's not happy with a situation but now she was acting like this for no reason but. The rest of the day she was okay and now that she's asleep she's not shaking anymore. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 11 months old

Thanks for using PetCoach. Shaking and panting can be signs of anxiety or possibly pain. It may be a storm or change in atmospheric pressure triggered her anxiety. I recommend looking into a product such as Adaptil, a natural pheromone that can help some anxious dogs. If she continues shaking I recommend a vet visit to rule out any pain and discuss her anxiety, in some cases medications can greatly improve quality of life for anxious pets. https://www.adaptil.com/us#redirected https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4953006
