[quote=Anonymous]I loved my shih tzu very much. He lived to age 13. He had several health problems: dry eyes, arthritis/poor mobility as he aged, and strong food allergies. By dry eyes I mean *no tears* causing mucus production and scratching of his cornea. The veterinary ophthalmologist at Friendship Animal Hospital in NW really helped. I noticed all the other dogs waiting for her were shih tzu too. They tend towards eye problems. The food allergy caused inflamed skin, flaking, and yeast infections in his ears. He needed a special diet. (I don’t think this issue is particular to shih tzu.) Look for good joints in your shih txu. Mine had bowed legs and that contributed to mobility issues as he aged. Good luck with your pup! They are really fun little dogs. Miss my guy every day.[/quote]
