She got him at 6 weeks of age and now he's almost 8 weeks old. By all means follow Yorkiemom's advice--she has a LOT of experience nursing young Yorkies along. To summarize:
(1) See a vet who has experience with toy breed dogs. Consider getting him tested for parvovirus.
(2) Feed chicken baby food for a couple of weeks.
(3) Try Karo syrup instead of honey.
(4) Give him Pedialyte to drink instead of water.
(5) If he doesn't stop shaking really really soon, get him to the vet right away.
