Why Is My Chinchilla Shivering? Common Causes and Fixes
A chinchilla may shiver from stress in a new, noisy home, from cold when the temperature drops too low, or from pain when it is sick or hurt. Calm and warm the environment for the first two; for pain—with signs like not eating, weeping eyes, fever, or reluctance to move—see a vet to find the cause. Most shivering falls into these three categories.

My dog has not wanted to eat, is low in spirits, stays in its bed, and will not go out; what is wrong?
