| Like violently shaking??? or nervous shaking??? Those are very different... If its nervous shaking he might be high strung, allergic to something, cold... sick... If its violent shaking he could have, an ear infection, ear mites, hair in his ears... many different things...

| It not violently but I'm concerned it seems like he is scared or nervous, he will play for awhile but then starts to shake his head again |

| When I picked him up from the breeder he was like that but we just thought it would go away after he got use to my family, His personality is very quiet and sweet, very lovable, but he does play around for alittle while through out the day I would say he has a burst of energy once in the morning and once in the night so I'm not sure if he is high strung. |

| Does he shake his head like a he is trying to get something off his head or more like it is rocking back and forth... Has he been checked by your vet since you got him?

| I really don't know but I would be concerned with his liver. Are you sure it isn't hypoglycemia? Does he ever press his head against solid objects, act depressed, lose his appetite, walk around in circles?

| Yes I have taken him to the Vet 3 times, he has had his shots and d worming, and has had lab work to see if he had any worms, the vet said he was shaking because he was nervous about being there, but I told him he shakes like that alot, he said he seems to be healthy. He did say he has a soft spot on his head that hasn't closed but that was normal in small dogs. He doesn't seem depressed and isn't walking in circles but he doesn't eat that much, I have to feed him so he will eat, I'm not sure if he forgets to eat or just wants me to feed him |
