Unhappy Cold or Flu??

Do dogs get common colds or flu or any other "normal" illnesses? My dog is showing some irregular symptoms - Standing with tail between his legs, walking with head down, lethargy, shivering. His appetite is fine, eyes and gums are normal, heart rate is 90 for a 100 lb dog, and stools are normal. I have not taken temp.

If I had these symptoms I would just say that I had a cold or the crud. Do dogs get that? How long should I wait before the vet?
