Not sure. Someone here might know. Something you can do at home is when he starts shaking give him a little bit (on your finger) of karo syrup or nutrical. If that stops the shaking almost instantly then it is probably hypo, if not it must be something else. No pup should be nervous enough to shake that often unless he is cold...

Otherwise you can do a bile acid test (a blood test before and after eating) to check for liver problems which are extremely common in Yorkies. This problem is quite serious so hopefully it's not that.


Please try a bit of white Karo syrup or go to the pet store and by Nutrical. If this doesn't work you may want to consult with another vet for a 2nd opinion.

I do want to welcome you to YT
