Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to answer this without knowing exactly what is going on with Bruce. Shaking and overall weakness are general signs of illness that could be associated with many diseases that go from an infection to pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check what seems to be the issue and treat it accordingly. I would not bathe him for now until it is known what is wrong with him. Good luck and have a great day!
