Anyone a Vet?

I'm going to call my Vet tomarrow and ask her about this, but until then, was wondering if anyone on these boards (since there's a wide variety of people who come here) would know anything about it.

Well today we brought the new dog home. My grandmother passed away this week and left us her dog. Now, our dog we had before (a lab) was very affectionate, I mean you couldn't sit down without her being on your lap. Now since we brought the new dog home (a pug) she has been extremely distant and even will even yelp at times when you pet her, also she's panting all the time and shaking. Is this normal for when you introduce a new dog into the family? Or should I try to find a 24 hour vet clinic?
 
New people and new surroundings can freak out a pet. When we moved our dog flipped out too, even though it wasn't new people. She'll adjust over time, just be friendly and take care of her like she's part of the family.
 
Maybe you should confine her to a small room to let her get used to her surroundings. Have her food and water, blankets and toys there. Talk to her in soothing tones.

I wouldn't confine her, I'd let her explore all she wanted until she had everything "mapped out". When we move my dog acted real nervous and ran around everywhere and sniffed everything over and over for like a week, then he started to calm.
 
See, it's not the new dog acting like this. The new dog is just fine, it's the dog we've had before. Ok, the pug is the new dog the lab is our dog. The lab is the one acting like this where the new dog (the pug) is perfectly fine.
 
the original dog is naturally pissy, because.. there's a stranger in her house.

give her some time. and spoil her a little if she'll let you.
