Question
has been constantly crying for the past 3 hours. she is also shaking. any reason
as to why she is doing this?

Answer
Andrea -

Is your two week old puppy with her mother or are you caring for her?  

If she is with a mother, she should be nursing every three to four hours.  If she is not doing that, have her seen by a veterinarian.

If you are feeding this puppy she should be seen by a veterinarian because she may be ill.

I cannot tell you what is wrong with your pup because I have not performed a physical exam - your vet can do that for you.
