Sometimes my dog will all of the sudden get the shakes, and shivers, and its not cold and he pants like crazy for like 5 minutes until i calm him with the brush, what could it be and what do i do, i dont want to give medicine maybe something natural.

Hi! In my experience the best thing to do is to comfort your dog. They need you or if you really can't figure out what to do then consult a vet.

Your dog looks like one of those very small breeds that often get the shakes. I think that right now the reasoning about these shakes is that the very small creatures have such small bodies that when they get excited in any way the only thing the body can do to release this excess energy is shake. If you have more concerns, I would ask a Veternarian. The dog's are real little beauty as seen in the picture.
