Why is my dog shivering and dry heaving all night but not throwing up?

It's very hard to say what could be going on with her from that information. Shivering can be caused by low body temperature, pain (for example neck pain), it can actually be tremors, and somewhere's we don't figure out what's going on at all. Because it's been going on all night, I would recommend taking her to the vet this morning. Hope you get to the bottom of things today and Zoey is feeling better soon!
