Question

how to check health of a new puppy?seems to be shivering and is too quiet?

Answer 1

It might be a good idea to take his tempature and if its above 101 degrees he may have some sort of infection, check to see if his ears smell bad, indication of ear problem. If its not that check to see if he's going potty normaly if not he could have twisted intestines. Next he might have worms and if so that could make him be anemic and you should have him dewormed and a b-12 shot to bring him around. your puppy could die from worms that aren't treated imidiately.

Answer 2

How about a vet? Most puppies come with a free first visit to a vet from most reputable pet stores. If money is an issue call ahead and talk to the vets office they will probably work with you.
