Question
I have a healthy beagle named snoopy, he is of the age of one and a half and has been ill before but the causes were of eating something. Now my dog is shivering and shows no energy to move - we're going to take him to the vets tommorow, but I read another one of your questions you awnsered about a dog - dalmation with similer problems, I love snoopy to bits and don't want him to go. Please help me, I'm scared - - girl aged 13 and worried parents!

Answer
Megan -

Please do not confuse my response regarding one dog with your dog's symptoms.  Shivering is only a symptom; it cannot lead to a diagnosis.  

I cannot diagnose or even venture to make a guess at what is wrong with your dog without examining him.   Have him examined by a veterinarian to determine why he is shivering.
