Is it normal for my puppy's jaw to shake when excited or playing?

I wouldn't be concerned about this unless it is happening repeatedly. If it happens again then I would have your vet look at his jaw to see if it painful or malformed and potentially take X-rays. as of right now he sounds like he is doing well so just keep a close eye on him. I hope this helps!

A chattering jaw can be a sign of few different things from something serious, such as a neurological condition, to a dental condition , or being cold or even a sign anxiety. There are different reasons why this behavior or symptom may be happening . The first thing to ruke out is cold room make sure he is nice and warm. If it still persist then the best thing would be to take him to the vet to examine him and rule in/out the medical causes and try diagnose it. If the dog is not doing the behavior all the time but in episodes it may be a good idea to video it so you can show the vet how it present.

Some dogs will have focal seizures known as 'chewing gum' seizures where the mouth will tremble or they will make chewing motions. Usually dogs will act a little disoriented after a seizure like this, but some dogs don't. If you think he may be having seizures you should see a veterinarian right away. It might be helpful to video an episode to show your vet. Of course it's possible that this is just a behavioral tic too, but it's better to be safe and have a veterinarian examine Mega to make sure.

Usually is due to the taste or the ''texture'' of it rather than a pathologic condition. Nothing to be worried about!

If he will allow, look in and around his mouth for any signs of infection, injury or foreign bodies. This may include redness, swelling, discharge, bruising or bleeding. See your veterinarian for an exam if anything suspicious is noted.

Jaw problems can be difficult to diagnose without a CT scan of the head. Keep an eye on her and monitor her eating and drinking habits. If you notice the condition getting worse contact your veterinarian and discuss referral to a veterinary specialist such as a neurologist.

It is possible that this is not a problem for Tony, especially if he has done it for a long time. However, quivering of the jaw could indicate pain at the TMJ or dental disease. I would recommend that Tony be checked over by a vet to make sure there is no obvious problem that can be treated to resolve the quivering.
