I have an 11 month old Maltese. I've noticed lately that for no apparent reason, she starts to shake like she's very cold or very scared. This usually happens after she uses the bathroom. I've had her since she was 3 months old, and I know her previous owners, so I know she wasn't abused. I never get on her about her accidents, because I know it's not her fault, it's mine for not training her right. Anyone else ever see this in a dog?
Also, she is 11 months old, and hasn't had her first heat. Is this normal? My other female dog is fixed, so I don't know when to expect it.
I am taking her to the vet, but her appointment isn't for 2 weeks. So please, no comments just saying "take her to the vet"

It sounds like maybe something is hurting her when she goes to the bathroom. Observe her when she is going an make sure she isn't struggling to go. If she is there may be some type of blockage. If she is having trouble peeing, then she may have a urinary tract or bladder infection.

You could have her checked for a urinary tract infection.. Especially if she is having accidents and acting funny after going.. Might sting, hurt etc...
