Common Shih Tzu diseases:

1. Canine distemper: Generally, this type of contagious and fatal disease mostly occurs in the weaning period of Shih Tzu dogs, or when they are about 1 year old. Puppies are highly susceptible to infection, low in cure rate, and prone to sequelae.

2. Lung disease: Lung disease is a very serious disease. When a Shih Tzu dog is found to have lung disease, it needs to be sent to the hospital immediately.

3. Skin diseases: Puppies rarely suffer from skin diseases, but as they grow up, skin diseases will accompany the Shih Tzu throughout their lives.

4. Canine infectious hepatitis: This is an acute sepsis infectious disease, the main manifestations are hepatitis and corneal opacity, which is what we often call blue eye disease.

5. Gastrointestinal disease: Shih Tzu’s stomach is sensitive and fragile. If it eats unclean food, expired and spoiled food, or industrial additive food, it is easy to suffer from gastrointestinal disease.

6. Constipation: Constipation refers to the retention of intestinal contents and feces, and finally blocks the intestinal cavity, which mostly occurs in middle-aged dogs.

Prevention of common diseases in dogs:

1. Small canine distemper: vaccinate the dog on time, and regularly disinfect the home. Do not take the dog out for a walk before the vaccination is completed.

2. Lung disease: Outdoor lawns, moldy fodder or kennels can all induce this disease. Usually, outdoor lawns should be cleaned regularly, and dog utensils should be cleaned and exposed to the sun.

3. Skin diseases: Regularly disinfect and clean the dog's daily life and tableware nest.
