Why is my senior dog shaking? Is it pain, cold, or a health problem?

Question

Hello, my dog is 14, she’s a Pit Bull x Lab. She has started shaking, it’s in bursts of 10-30 seconds and happen roughly every minute. I’m just wondering if she’s cold or there is something wrong. She has access to food and water as well as a pillow. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 80 lbs

Shaking in this manner is possibly a sign of pain or a neurological condition. I would recommend video taping these instances and showing it to your vet for clarification first, then go from there. If she is painful the vet will want to do a thorough exam to try and locate the source of her pain. Arthritic pain can also cause shaking and make it difficult for pets to get up from a sitting position or unable to move quickly. I hope that you are able to pinpoint Ella’s possible pain source and get her treatment through your vet soon. Best wishes and take care.
