Thank you for submitting your question regarding Betty. I do recommend seeking veterinary care for her today. Shaking can indicate pain or even a fever. Both can be serious at her age. The veterinarian will carefully examine her and determine how best to treat her. In the meantime, keep her quiet and carry her as needed. Do not give over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!
