Avatar n tn My 11 year old shih tzu was vaccinated for Lyme. 2 weeks later was diagnosed with Evans Syndrome. She hospitalized. Showed signs of Vastibular, pancreatitis. She passed away yesterday. Prior to the vaccine a happy pup. Running and playing?
1448838 tn?1284735252 Sounds to me like you have a normal Shih Tzu. All three of my families Shih Tzu act the same; they sleep for 99% of the day and when they play they sprint around the house at the speed of light, for about 20 minutes then it is back to sleep. My wife thinks the dog is depressed, but that is just how Shih Tzu are. They are very low energy dogs. As for the puking, that is also pretty normal. Shih Tzu have very sensitive stomachs. My dog pukes often in the morning, usually once a week.
509877 tn?1315361694 I have questions, my vet just diagnosed my shih tzu with pancreatitis. She ate some pork a couple of days ago and them started vomiting the yellow frothy stuff. They had to give her steroids to stop the vomiting, does this mean she will always have the pancreatitis? Or is this a one time thing? I know not to let her eat anything but her dog food diet but I am still worried... Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn Our 1 year old Shih Tzu runs in circles for 10 to 15 minutes (or longer) before she urinates, also, she is extremely skiddish, she was 4 months old when we got her. .....at least she goes outside, but I have to stand there as she has to be kept on a leash.
Avatar n tn my shih tzu has had pancreatitis in the past...she won't eat or drink when she has it. Now its the same symptoms but we literally hear her stomach making loud noises...she is uncomfortable...is it hunger sounds because she isnt eating or should we give her something for gas? Do noises go along with pancreatitis?
2217169 tn?1371483722 Hey omg congrats on clean time!!! It gets better. I still felt sluggish at this time. So enjoy the energy when it's there!!! So glad ur baby is doing good!!! I know it's hard when were tested... But yes u stayed strong and passed with flying colors!!! Good good job... Happy dance for u!!!! Hugs!!!
Avatar n tn If she were mine, I'd take her to the vet asap. A shih tzu who isn't bouncing around and watching everything with those "shih tzu eyes" needs vet treatment. I hope she is fine.
212161 tn?1599427282 i have a 17 week shih tzu her eyes run all the time, my last shih tzu his eyes did not run, what causes it and how do i stop it any ideals , thank you .
Avatar n tn Our shih tzu vomits up the same thing but we have never put him on a special diet. He eats almost anything BUT he doesn't eat grass outside like our other dogs do. The other dogs eat grass and then vomit; it seems to cleanse their insides but the shih tzu doesn't do this. Just a guess - maybe you both have shih tzus with sensitive tummies. Ask your vet about eating grass (not smoking it). Like I said, this is just a guess.
193609 tn?1292180293 i have shis tzu and never would they be a outside dog, my first one was 42 pds yup what i said and he was purebreed , he lived to be 17 years old , now i havea little girl shes only 15 pds and love of our life, they are not outside dogs and if he had been inhouse all this time than put out side thats more of a shock to him than bring him back in.
Avatar n tn It comes down to responsible pet ownership and being alert to what is going on - which is why Mr. Macho shih tzu is not allowed to bark in stranges dogs' faces. Shih tzus are tough little guys but no match for a big, aggressive dog.
Avatar n tn My shih tzu seems depressed. She wont play with us anymore all she wants to do is sleep. Whe got a new shih tzu 3 months old to keep the older one company. The first one acts like the puppy mother from cleaning him to playing with him.
Avatar n tn We wanted to have a little companion for her so yesterday we picked up a 9 week Shih Po puppy. Molly, the Shih Tzu came for the ride, which ended up being approximately 5 hours round trip. Following the trip we noticed our Shih Tzu with excess saliva, so much so that we had to wipe it off her face all evening. The next day (today), she still has some frothing. We are not too concerned, as she is acting completely normal, eating, drinking, peeing, pooping.
Avatar n tn My 8 month shih tzu has been throwing up bright yellow bile every other day. Sometimes he throws up in the middle of the night, but most of the time it is between 10 and 3 in the afternoon. We have recently switched his food from beneful (which his old owners had him on) to Innova Evo with chicken. I have read that this is caused by an empty stomach. He eats twice a day, and most times when he throws up he has food down, he just isnt eating it. But he seems to enjoy the food when he eats it.
Avatar n tn my 7 year old shih tzu trew up the yellow bile one time, since then he's being shaking, drooling with a little flem and kind of loose stool, no diarreah but with some blood on it also with smelly flatulences. He's stomach is also making weird noises. I just change his food to a more natural one from purina. I dont know what going on please help.
428886 tn?1217682034 We just got a year old shih tzu female. She is very loving but there is a problem that I have noticed and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. She eats her poopoo. Why would she do that?
4187386 tn?1350796397 I have a Post about my Shih Tzu in here but had to compose myself before I write this question. My little Paisleys liver failed. vet has her on meds and she is up eating walking and going potty again but still sleeping a lot. She went from having fun to crashing in a few days to doing none of eating or walking etc. My question. Is this normal progression? give your pet this drug just to keep them going a little longer, The vet said there's nothing that can be done her liver it gone.

Avatar n tn My shih tzu all of a sudden has a swollen stomach and is drinking water more than he usually dogs. he has even been standing by my grandmothers food barking for water. his belly has never been that huge and he weighs more than usual also what should i do? i am worried!!
Avatar n tn My shih~tzu got into the trash 2 days ago and then started shaking and would yip if you would touch his belly. The next day he had problems walking with his hind legs. He has feeling in them, but, just has difficulty walking. We gave him an enteric baby asprin and he seemed a tinge better~no shakes. He has urinated, but hasn't passed his bowels. We also have given him boiled chicken and rice. We will take him to the vet tomorrow. What do you think is going on that he can't walk?
225036 tn?1294509400 Hi everyone. I have a Shih Tzu that is about 4.5 years old. We just got him last Thanksgiving form friends. He often vomits yellow foamy bile. He doesn't eat well at all and sometimes when he vomits there is undigested food in it. I was wondering if this is common and what are some suggestions to help him feel better. Thanks everyone.
