Your puppy is very young and could very easily be exposed to the Parvo virus. This puupy is too young to be away from the mother. Do you know if this puppy has received any of it's shots? Understand there is nothing you can do but take it to the vet to determine what the problem is. Has this puppy had diahhrea or stopped eating? The shaking of the head is most likely convulsing. Please seek vet help.

How long have you had this puppy? Generally puppies stay with their mothers until they are 8 weeks old, and have natural immunities form their mother until about 6 weeks of age. That is when most puppies begin their shots. Parvo virus usually incubates for 1-2 weeks before surfacing. If your puppy had parvo then it most likely got it when it was 3 to 4 weeks old, and that is unusual since he should still have had antibodies from the mothers milk. I don't think it is parvo, but I may be wrong.

This sounds more like seizures.

Is there any chance your dog may have ingested something toxic ? There are many hazards to young puppies such as rat poison and antifreeze, and human dangers such as chocolate and grapes. If the puppies not suppose to have it they generally tend to find it, even if you forgot it was there.

Um... I don't think that he got into anything toxic,but he might have I don't know? Really.
We just went to the vet an they were closed.He had been shaking a lot especially in his sleep.He hasn't been out side much.We got just last week.Hes 5 going on 6 weeks old.
But why does he shake his head and sling vomit and snot ever where?This morning he had foam coming out of his mouth and that worries me greatly.He is now gasping fer air threw his mouth.Could worms do this?:(:confused:

Uhhh no as far as I know worms would not make a puppy have seizures and vomiting.
Have you taken the puppy to a vet yet? If your vet isn't open then call every other vet in the phone book because it doesn't sound good :confused:
