| Welcome to YT You can probably find all of your answers on YorkieTalk. Just use the "Search" as the top of this screen or post your questions. Does this dog shake when it hasn't eaten in awhile or right after it has eaten or all the time?

| omg yes the shaking is normal. he is just scared. wen i first got Abby she wud shake alll dayyyy n nightttt, even in her sleep she wud shake. it was so depressing n i was in tears the whole first week. believe me this is normal. he probably wont eat much either. he has to adjust to the change cuz this is very traumatic to them. imagine u as a 3 year old n then all of a sudden ur taken away from ur parents into these strangers house? u r gonna b miserable. anyway as for the nails, u can have ur vet do it wen u take him. u can get abook but ppl here are very helpful, hey they helped me not to slit my wrists wen i got Abby. good luck w ur baby n show us some picss. i say give it about 2 weeks or so n he shud b ok |

This is not usually normal though unless your pup is scared. If it happens right after eating there could be a big problem. If it happens when your pup hasn't eaten in a long time it could be hypoglycemia. Has he been to the vet yet?

| I dont know the answer to all your questions but... does the puppy shake all the time. If he does, im sure thats not normal, but mine shakes after a bath cause I dont think he likes it very much plus hes probably a little bit chilly. Also, be VERY careful cutting the dogs nails considering the veins that are in them. If you are too scared to cut them yourself let a groomer do it |

| Hi welcome to YT!!! I just wanted to share something that helped us with the shivering and the extra anxiety. My vet recommended a D.A.P. collar when we got copper and it really helped him with regaining confidence. They also have a spray and a plug in. The collar looks like a flea collar and that part wasn't so appealing but it is definately worth looking into. I think if I need to use it again for travel or a new puppy I would try the spray. Good luck with your new puppy
