Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am worried about the fact that he is shaking and won’t go out for walks and play. This is unlikely to be related to allergies. It could be pain, anxiety, fever, or other problem. I’d recommend getting him in for a checkup to make sure it’s nothing serious. Best wishes to you and Chico!
