My moms yorkie always shakes and I think it's eat it's own poop.why? whats wrong?

babysitting moms 5-6 mth old yorkshire terrier and it always shakes, maybe cold, but it feels warm/normal. and eating poop, cause it's poop disappeared,and i didn't pick it up?. is this a related problem? or just a clod poop eating pooch?
Answers:
when sometimes they look for extra attention they will sit and shake like they are getting cold, so just give her a bit of extra love. the poop eating thing is that it could be there is something short in her diet. you could give her vitemans everyday. or a vit B complex injection once a month or two. the complex help to do more excercise and it keeps them healthy.
when i first got my pup she was shaking too. shes just probably a little nervous. about the poop--i dunno?
Maybe it shakes because it eats poop?
Some dogs just shake. She may also be a bit scared if she is in a new place. The eating the poop thing it could be a few things: She may not be getting enough nutrition, She could have worms(get her checked out by a vet and get a fecal test done.),sometimes puppies just eat poop your vet will have a med called for-bid for that.
This is a common problem and though this is somewhat disgusting to us as they then give us kisses. It probably has something to do with the fact that our dog foods are so good today without chemical preservatives that they don't seem to think it matters to recycle.
If you sprinkle some meat tenderizer on the food, this should help deter the dog from thinking it tastes good.
That and VERY QUICK cleanups, usually solve the problem.
