Shih Tzu Forums

Every time I let my shih tzu out to go to the bathroom he has to be wiped off or he will smell and alot of times even by wiping him off doesn\'t help. does any one else have this problem and do you have any answers on what to do???????

Im looking for help with a UTI in shih tzu puppy. He is 12 wks old. The vet put him on Clavamox but also changed his diet to (royal canine) Urinary SO 14. Im wondering if this food is ok for a puppy. The bag says not for growing puppies so i called the vet back and they said it was fine. Anyone have their shih tzu puppy on special food for a UTI?

Hi all, Wondering if i could get help. My shitzu pup is sneezing and scratching a lot. i had his boosters done and flea and worming only two weeks ago. he dosnt seem to be annoyed with it and i have spent hours checking him out. The vet found no problem two weeks ago but it is getting more frequent now.

i have my cute little shih tzu kiki for a little bit now and she doesnt like to be groomed plus she has a problem being house broken and iv tried to break her since she was about 2 months old......so what do i do

I have too many available to mention here but if you are interested, I would be glad to give you a run down. All in good condition. Joan

I just bought a shih Tzu puppie 10 weeks old he only weighs a little over a pound is this right for this type of dog?

Hi, I am a small hobby breeder. I just had a champagne male born on May 14th. His mom is 8 lbs and his dad is 5 lbs. I'm not sure how big he is going to be but chances are he is going to be small. Check him out at my website at: http://www.meadowlynsdreamshihtzus.com

My little girl has had bladder stones and the vet now wants to put her on Polycitra-K solution twice a day. Has anyone had experience with this medication? Please write back. Thanks.

I've been hunting for a durable winter snow jacket for Petuno. He loves it when I dress him up to keep him warm. I found a site online and went absolutely bonkers when I saw what this company had to offer. They sell items from small dog apparel to all-size accessories to pet treats and pet care products. I bought those Share-A-Treats and some Brut Cologne too, hahaha. They manufacture their own rompers (indoor and outdoor) as well as capes and bathrobes. What I like about this compnay is that they really care about animals. They donate 10% of all their purchases to different animal charities around the globe. It also seems as if they are a well-rounded company that not only caters to animals but they take part in children's educations. You'll see what I mean when you check out MaxeeAlexander.com

matte's in her hair. My boyfriend gave her a bath and must have schrubbed her hard because now she has big knott's. Does anyone know how I can get them out? Please help me and my baby!

I recently purchased a 7 week shih tzu, he is too young to be taken outside to potty, so I'm tring to get him to go on some paper and he totally refuses to eliminate on the paper he will hold it until he is on the carpet then he eliminates, any suggestions would be very appreciated.

My 2 year old Shih-Tzu has a Urinary Tract Infection. She has been given Antibotics 2 times for 10 days each, without any apparent effect. We changed Vets and she is currently on her third round of Antibotics, This Vet said she should take them for at least 3 weeks. Also she does not seem to be drinking enough water. What I am wondering is, does anyone know of a natural remedy for this? Maybe Herbs or Cranberry Juice? Thanks for any help, Mike.

I am looking for a female shih tzu puppy in New York at a reasonable price. Any info I could get would be greatly appreciated.

My 6 year old shih tzu is experiencing dark black skin under his belly area. I originally had him on purina lamb/rice however through the years the problem worsened. I took him to my vet and he suggested that I try other brands. I have used Precise Sensicare Formula which did begin to clear up his skin however it was causing him to vomit about 3 times a week. I then tried Wellness Fish/Sweet potato formula and his skin turned completely dark again. I do give him raw hide bones about 3 times a week. Could this be the problem? Are pig ears a better solution? I really don't want to stop giving him these treats because he absolutely loves them! Any body else out there have problems with blackening of skin under the belly area? On a side note, my shih tzu also sneezes a lot. Is this normal for this breed? I welcome any and all input!! Thank you.

hello, i wanted to know if i could breed my dog with a dog that isnt in the same kennel club like mine is ckc and the male is akc?

Does anyone know where I can find a Shih Tzu puupy in the Wash DC area?

I have a 3 year old female shih tzu. She developed allergies (skin problems) about a year ago. My vet gives her cortizone shots and she is okay for about a week and then goes right back to constant scratching and biting of her back legs. I suggested that an allergy test be done, but there is no dermatology vet in my area. I would have to go out of state. Does anyone have a remedy or any information about this condition? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Labalex@aol.com

hi, i am new here. we own 2 shih tzu's. one is golden and is almost 9 months old. we are waiting for our darling new white and golden to come home at the age of 10 weeks. i have trouble keeping holly tangle and matt free. i comb every day but she gets those mats right under her legs and breast. she hates wire brushes and other then that nothing really cuts through the coat. she will tolerate a comb, but it is a human comb i use right now. i don't want to shave her, want her to grow that beautiful shih tzu coat. but.......i need to get ahead of the tangles. also is there a shampoo or other products that help keep her coat from matting so badly? thanks in advance.

Hi, Im new to the board. Has anyone got remedies for natural flea prevention. Thanks Vicki/ England

I need suggestions on how to keep my dogs tail from matting. It curls within itself, like a pigs tail. What a mess if I don't comb it everyday.

I would like to request some advice if it is not too much trouble. My name is Julitza and I own a 4 year old female Shih Tzu. I have been thinking of purchasing a new puppy and would like to know if you have any advice on introducing them? My shih tzu (Sasha) takes a while to warm up to other dogs and I would like to know if you had any advice to make the process less stressful? Also, would a medium to large breed puppy be a danger to Sasha? I was just wondering because of a puppys energy and size. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

My family and I are thinking about getting a shih-tzu puppy.. my parents both work and my brother and i have school- can shihtzus stay home alone for 5-6 hours??

My mother is now suffering from dementia and cannot care for her shih tzu. It is living with us and we want to seek a nice home for her. we live in the LA area,she is black and white, age unknown as mom adopted her about 1 year ago. our observation is she does not do well with cats in the family - she chases them. she is sweet and loving. you can respond at qrgtl@aol.com.

anyone have a black & white shih tzu with champion bloodlines available? Please email me at flyingdreams@nc.rr.com Thanks! <><

Hi, My name is Marie. I keep my Shih Tzu, Brandy, short too. She looks so cute. Every time I get her groomed they put a little bandana on her for the upcoming holiday. Mine doesn't like bows in the top knot or ears, so I keep her short. She is so loveable and cuddly. My husband is not allergic to her like he was our cat. I am allergic also to breeds that shed and so is he, but the shih tzu I have no problem with. Take care, Love, Marie

I have a 2 year old male and my wife and I want another, but are not sure which to get, male or female. We are not really interested in breeding. We would like to know if two males are more compatible, or would a female be best?

We rescued a little dog, we thought it was a Shih Tzu, I think now after we had him groomed , we had to have him shaved, because he was in horrible shape, that maybe he may be shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso mixed. I would really like to find out something about their personalitys. He growls a lot like he will eat you up, but sometimes I think that is his defense. He hasn't bitten anyone so far, but my groomer had to put a muzzle on him to groom him, and this was after he was sedated. Also, is there any way to find out how old he may be. What is the best food for these kind of dogs?Thank you in advance.

Hi all, I just came across this webpage that I thought could be fun for anyone interested in entering their dogs in an online dog show. It's completely free of charge. If anyone is interested the address is http://www.geocities.com/OnlineDogShow/ Thanks!

Is it real important to pluck the hairs in their ears on a regular basis. My puppy is 3 months old and have never done it.
