That would depend on the cause of the shaking. It could be tick in the ear canal, ear mites, ear infection, other causes for itching, a small seizure, etc. I would recommend that you have Joey examined by a vet. Hopefully after a physical exam, they will have a better idea as to the cause and can recommend a treatment to give him comfort.
