My 3-month-old puppy is shaky, not eating. Should I call the vet?

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | unneutered | 40 lbs

My dog is quite shaky and isn't eating nor drinking water. He seems really sad and won't come if I call him. His nose is dry and warm. He is only 3 1/2 months.

I'm quite concerned that Whitey is shaking, and won't eat or drink. I'm not so concerned about his nose being dry and warm, as that isn't a sign of illness in dogs. Given his young age and his current symptoms, I think it's best he sees a vet immediately. Please take him into one now.
