I have a dog who's legs shake really bad when she sits still. whats wrong with her?

6 month old wire fox terrier,female,11 pounds,healthy diet,lots of exercise.
Answers:
Could it be excitment?
Some pups just get so excited they wiggle.
Could it be a seizure? Does she seem "out of it" when it happens?
Can you interupt the shaking by getting her to stand?
What exersize do you do with her? Over stressing the muscles can cause this.
So can brain damage, hip/elbow dysplasia, poisoning, and certain birth defects.
I'd see a vet just to be safe.
Consider blood work and X-rays.
brain damage
this is common but if it gets bad see a vet
Have you ever noticed that when you tried to hold your self up while lying down, that your arm shaked a little bit? Well maybe your dog is holding it self up and thats whats making her shake? Thats all i can think of! lol Other than that, if you think its a serious problem..then call your vet :D
i have a dog too at my home. i think your dog has some blood vessel diseases that can be cure. Did u take it to vet?
may be nervous problems?!
If your dog was older i would say arthritis, but since your dog is a puppy, then maybe she is putting more weight on that leg than the other, or it can be excitment or nervesnes, but if you are really worried than i would check with the vet.
