Answer 1

First off, I have a 6 pound Italian greyhound so i understand your situation.  The shaking could be from either high energy(needs a daily walk), nervousness, or just plain cold.  My dog is dressed 24/7 b/c even in the summer time, they can still get cold from going into the air conditioned house.  And about the balance thing, he is still a baby I wouldn't be too alarmed unless it happens frequently.  If it is from nervousness, there is nothing you can but to console and comfort him. Also, keep in mind this a typical trait of the breed, as it is with Italian greyhounds. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

it might be freezig are you letting it stay in the house for a long time

Answer 3

A chihuahua puppy can suffer from low blood sugar and from the cold so if you have to leave him with someone make sure they know that he must have aces to food at a frequent basis if not at all times and they must be kept warm because they don't have enough fat to keep them warm at that age

Answer 4

Possibly or it may have been hypoglycemia. Did you feed your dog right after you got in? Chihuahua pups need food down 24/7 If so that maybe why he stopped shaking. You need to know about hypoglycemia if you have a Chi pup. You can read about it at the link in the source box here
