• Boss has been shivering. His temperature is 101.5, gums are pink and bounce back within 2 seconds when pressed. He was licking flowers today and I wonder whether he got to something toxic and what i should do if he did.

    Hi Alexis, if the shivering has continued, I recommend that you take him into see a veterinarian as soon as possible if you have not already done so. Some flowers can be toxic to dogs and the shivering may be due to that exposure. However, there can be other causes for these symptoms as well. Your vet can talk to you about the cause of the shivering and any treatment needed after they have examined him.
