My dog was attacked. Why is she now lethargic, shivering, not eating?

Question

Hi! My dog was attacked my another dog a three days ago. Nothing happened, there weren’t any blood. She was terrified and shocked. Yesterday she was a lot better, I played with her, she was active. And now today she’s shivering, not paying attention, not eating nor drinking. She won’t walk far. I put her on the floor and she walks slowly with her head quite low. She’s been more sleepy than usual. I’m really concerned. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | 4 years and 1 month old | 6.6 lbs

You should get your dog to a vet immediately for a thorough examination as there may have been some serious damage done that is not obvious. Hopefully not and it is just the development of some muscle pain etc but at the very least the vet will be able to give some pain relief, alongside peace of mind.
