Poor Sweetie! She could be shaking because she is in pain. She could have neck/back pain, abdominal pain, etc. causing her some discomfort. The best thing would be to have her examined by a vet to determine the cause of the shaking. Your vet can do a full physical examination to diagnose the problem and then determine the best way to treat. Hope she feels better soon.
