When a dog eats poop, it's not only unpleasant but potentially risky for their health. Shaking can be a sign of distress or an underlying medical condition that might have been exacerbated by ingesting something harmful. It's always best to err on the side of caution and consult with a veterinarian to rule out any serious issues and provide peace of mind.
