French bulldog is shaking and acting weird, should I be worried?

Last night, my French bulldog started shaking and behaving strangely, like he was anxious or uncomfortable. He's usually so calm and playful, so this sudden change is pretty alarming. Could this be an issue that needs immediate attention, or is it something that might pass on its own?

  • Sudden trembling or shaking
  • Uncharacteristic anxious behavior
  • Discomfort or signs of pain
