Shih Tzus, as with most animals can continue to reproduce into their later years. In my opinion, it is not humane to breed an animal each and every time they go into heat. As long as you respect your animal's body and care for them they can continue to give birth if they are in good health.

Can a Shih tzu swim?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Actually not all dogs can swim. Shih tzus can, but if their coats aren't trimmed, the weight of the wet hair will tire them very, very quickly. Not a breed that will enjoy much swimming.
they are good swimmers, but they don't generally like too. i took my shih tzu swimming and he was really good once he was in but he didn't like it.

How do you treat shih tzu runny eyes?

They shouldn't have runny eyes. It means it's fur is getting caught up into its eyes & needs to get a trim around its eyes from its groomer. After that, your shih tzu shouldn't have runny eyes.

Is it normal for a shih tzu puppy to have a little red in the eye?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, because the eye is getting infected. It can be because the shih tzu has red fur on its face. Have you ever seen your shih tzu paw is face? If so, yep, the eye is getting infected. You should cut the red fur from the face carefully, or take your shih tzu to its professional groomer. After all the red fur is cut out of the face, your shih tzu will be fine... Just take him or her to their veterinarian to get some tips if your shih tzu's eye(s) is (are) okay.
