My dog shivers while sleeping in cold weather. What can I do?

Question

My dog is just 3 years old and right now where we live it's in the average 30°F, she is shivering a lot while she sleeps and then the shivering stops and then it comes back. She is drinking water every 3 hours and that's it. What can I do?

Dr. Davis · Accepted Answer

If she’s living outside then you need to bring her inside at least at night since she’s probably cold. If she’s inside and shivering that is often a sign of pain so I recommend a veterinary exam to determine the cause of the shivering and start treatment.
