This just happened to my dog over the weekend. She threw up a few times in two days and wouldn't eat anything for over 24 hours. She was drinking a little water but nothing else. She was shivering and did not want to go outside or go for walks. It was extremely difficult to even get her to walk into a different room of my house.
I read a bunch of articles online and ended up getting chicken broth with low sodium and feeding her small pieces of meat, just to get something in her system. She drank the broth and ate the meat, although somewhat hesitantly. I read that the shivering was due to her blood sugar dropping due to her being without food for such a long time. As soon as I fed her some small pieces of turkey breast (sliced deli meat), she stopped shivering.
Gradually, over the next two days, I fed her a little more meat and more chicken broth, and she slowly got her energy back. Yesterday, I left a little bit of her regular food out when I went to work, and she had eaten it when I returned. This morning, she was almost back to her normal self and was barking and had much more energy on our walk.
I am not anti-vet, but my dog hates going to the vet/groomer/etc, and the last time she was vomiting & had diarrhea, I spent $500 at the vet, only to have him give her special canned dog food and doing the same thing I did this time (feeding small meals and giving small amounts of liquid).

Impossible to know from the details you've provided. The shivering may be the effects of a fever and, if so, it's a high fever. Consider bringing the dog to the Vet ASAP.


Your dogs shivering what can you do?

One reason first of all the god could be shivering is it is cold- so i would just get a blanket you dont mind to get dog hair on and just drape it over the pup, and just sit there with him/her for awhile. 2nd reason it may be shivering is because its scared- so just spending like 20 minutes a day with ur dog can change that. i hope i helped you out.
