I wish this poster would report back and let us know how things are going with the min pin.  I've thought about her several times today and wondered what happened.

I completely agree with Ghilly.  This case needs to be assessed by a vet, and if your regular clinic is closed, you need an ER vet.  PLEASE give us an update!  :-)

This dog needs to be seen by a vet ASAP.  Miniature pinschers are not prone to bloat the way Doberman Pinschers are, but it is not unheard of in the breed.  Shaking indicates that a dog is in pain or discomfort, and if she is vomiting, not eating, and is repeatedly laying down and getting up, those are all signs of gastric torsion and volvulus, or bloat.  Bloat is fatal if surgery is not performed, and it can be fatal within hours, so there is no time to waste.  Min Pins, even though they are small, still have a deep chest, so the structure of the dog is right for the stomach to flip over on itself.  You need to rule this out, because, as I said, the condition is fatal if it is not addressed surgically within three or four hours of happening.  Please let us know what happens and how your dog is feeling.
