My dog has an enlarged heart and is shaking. What should I do?

Question

Hello, I have a golden retriever, 7 years old, male. He is not doin well since last week. I showed to my local vets. They discovered his heart has enlarged. They have started medicine for heart. But along that he has been shaking or shivering very much. Local vets were not able to figure out about the shaking or shivering. If you can help me out in any way. Why is it or how can i comfort him. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | 7 years and 1 month old | 105 lbs

He is shaking either from pain/discomfort or as a side effect from the medications he is taking. Since I don't know what medications he is taking it hard for me to comment. The dosages may need to be adjusted. Since he is on heart medications it is best to contact your vet for help since they have the full medical history.
