Why is my puppy shaking and wheezing after coming in from the cold?

Question

My 3 months old pitbull puppy is acting odd since coming back inside from going potty he has been shaking or like tremoring. I thought at first he was cold considering we live in Minnesota. Since he's been back inside he's fallen asleep and continued to tremor or shake while sleeping. And at one point he took a breath and sounded like he weezed. More like he gasped for a air.. but now in the last 2 minutes he's quit tremoring or shaken or hasn't weezed or gasped for air. Should i be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | 2 months and 26 days old | 25 lbs

Minnesota is really cold in winter! It could be he was cold from the outside, and that's why he was shivering. It could have taken him a while to warm up. Given he is young and it gets so cold where you live, I'd get a coat for him to wear when outside, and limit his time out there as much as possible when it gets really cold out. Bring him out to potty, and take him right back inside when he's done. Have a warm bed set up for him with blankets. I hope this helps!
