A dog may shake due to a variety of reasons, including anxiety, cold temperatures, pain, or illness. It's important to observe if there are any additional signs such as changes in behavior, appetite, or energy level. You can try comforting her in a calm and gentle manner, but if the shaking continues or worsens, a veterinary visit is recommended to determine the underlying cause.
