My dog is shaking and won't move. Should I take her to the vet?

My pet 1 year old chaiweenie (named Pepper) is normally a very active and playful dog. She now is acting rather strange; she has been violently shaking and she barely moves. Is she sick or is this normal?

Any behavior that is out of the ordinary should be considered abnormal/sick. I think Pepper should be seen by a vet for an exam. They can tell you more from there. It is better to be safe than sorry. Best wishes!
