Puppy is shaking pretty badly.. why?

Why does my puppy of 8 weeks shake?

She makes no noise but is barely able to stand and her head tilts with her body too.

I thought she was cold, but her shaking doesn't stop, this has happened a couple times already.

Hi Alejandra
I'm afraid I can't say why your puppy is shaking in this way, there are all sorts of possible reasons.

I strongly recommend that you take her to your veterinarian for a thorough check up so you can find out if there is an underlying health problem that needs to be taken care of.

Young puppies can shake because they're cold, or scared, or in pain, or for health reasons such as low blood sugar, heart or neurological issues and so on. Only a hands-on exam by a professional can give you the answers that you need.

Please get her to a vet asap. Best of luck and I hope she is feeling much better soon.

Thank you NEW

Yes she is. At first a vet at Petsmart told me she had cerebal palsy, which made me extremely worried because the conditions worsens and is a neurological disease and theirs no solution to it but then I took her to the ER and they ran tests and her glucose level was low, so thankfully shes fine.
