Oh, she's a tiny too my vet told me yes a hypoglycemia episode can happen because of shots also. As a matter of fact my baby was suppose to get his shots the next day after is hypoglycemia episode and the vet would not give it to him, because she said it could cause him to have another episode. I have to take him next Friday to get his shot now. Yes, hypoglycemia is when their blood sugar gets very low and something about their brain needing glucose and when it doesn't get it they start to tremble. Here is a clip that explains about hypoglycemia in yorkies, I got it off a ladies web-page:

The first sign of hypoglycemia is the yorkshire terrier puppy slowing down and then acting listless. The puppy will then begin to tremble or shiver. This is a reaction caused as the brain is starved for glucose. More signs of an attack are a weakness, confusion, wobbly gait, frothing or drooling from the mouth - sometimes even a seizure and drain of blood from the head. His body will be limp, lifeless, and a check of the gums will show them to be pale, almost a grayish white in color rather than a healthy bright pink.. The body temperature will be subnormal. After a time, the puppy will become comatose and may even appear to be dead. The puppy can go into shock and, if not cared for properly and promptly, may even die.

I had to start researching after mine had an episode, now I'm prepared for when it happens again, HOPEFULLY NOT.
