Hi there. It looks like your puppy either had an injury or may have someone that is chewing hair off his tail. I'm not sure the shaking is related to the tail wound. If your puppy is eating and drinking, and doesn't have any other abnormal signs, I would try and reassure him that everything is fine by giving him a treat and then having your vet check the tail tomorrow. If Oreo has any other abnormal signs, I would have him checked by a vet tonight because shaking can indicate low blood sugar, fever or other illness. I hope that helps!
