The random, severe shaking is new though, and there has not been anything I've heard that will cause it. Sometimes she will lay between us and the couch and shove her nose in the corner and just shake

Oh, I see about the upstairs.

Does it make sense to you, as Bard says, that it could be related to her being out during the 4th of July? It really seems to be a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder like humans get. Any trigger (in this case, fire which crackles like a firecracker), makes her feel as if the event is happening again.

The random shaking happens during times there is no loud noises and no fires? Just randomly out of the blue? Did it start right after she was found OR did it start after you started making fires in the fireplace?
