My dog is shaking and in pain after surgery. What could it be?

Question

My two-year-old beagle boxer mix has suddenly developed pain when she jumps on or off things sometimes when she walks she is still eating and drinking but not as much as usual and she is started shaking a lot like she’s cold she was just at the vet for a hematoma surgery on her ear they didn’t find anything else wrong with her at the time this happened after surgery I can’t afford another Expensive vet visit just curious as to what this might be the pain seems to be coming from her paws/legs. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 11 months old | 40 lbs

It's possible she has injured her back. many times there will not be any signs on a physical exam until the injury happens. Certainly an injury to the joints of the leg are also possible. I recommend to try to get her examined as soon as you can. A back injury can become chronic and serious in nature (just like humans). Be up front with the doctor about your cost concerns. Until you have her examined, she needs exercise restriction so NO running, jumping, going for walks, stairs or getting on the furniture. Crate her when you are not watching her and she should be on a leash anytime she goes outside. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
