Common Questions and Answers about Seizure in shih tzu

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.
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.
I have a Multesse cross Shih Tzu male, 4 years old. He shakes for no apparent reason and a couple times his back legs have been affected and look like they are cramped. They are not stiff or locked and he is not aggressive throughout. It lasts 10-15 minutes as an average and I am concerned.
He does have the habit of walking on his back legs to get picked up so I know the back legs are strong.
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.
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.
My 11 year old shih tzu has had mitral valve disease for 3 years which will eventually become CHF according to her cardiologist. She's currently taking about as much medication as my elderly parent including enalapril, vetmedin, spironolactone, hydrocodone (to control the bad coughing that caused her to produce seizure like symptoms and eventually faint several times) and theophylline as a bronchodialator.
My 9 month old Shih tzu suddenly died this morning. I am so confused as to what happen, I am hoping to get some kind of information as to what might have happened to him. He was just fine yesterday, acting normal and then this morning after taking him out to do his business, he just started to make this horrible crying sound, and started having what looked like a seizure. Within seconds he went limp and just stopped breathing. Can you tell me what might cause this? Thank you.
I have a 5 year old Shih Tzu who weighs about 10 pounds. She has muscle spasms that affect all 4 limbs every 2-3 months (sometimes longer apart). When the spasms occur, her extremities stick straight out, she starts shaking, and she breathes heavily. They last for 1-2 minutes, and she's fine afterwards. She's also had a slipped disc twice, and was on pain meds, antiinflammatories, and cage rest when they happened.
My 12 year old Shih Tzu was sleeping on the a carpet that he blends in with really well and I was walking past and accidentally stepped on the very edge of his tail. As a reaction, I took a hop to take the weight off my foot but at the same time he snarled and sat up and whipped his head back to look at what was happening and the side of his face and the whole side of my big toe to the ball of my foot connected. I heard an audible "whack!
