Shih Tzu Lover

This issue has been discussed many times , and vets dont seem to have an answer for the problem. They have come up with many theories and many cures but nothing changes, I have 4 Shih Tzu kids and two of them are still sleeping in cages but they dont seem to have the problem yet, the older kids did it for a while and then stopped when they got to about 4 years ,for no exact reason. Although I did run ragged cleaning after them for about a year LOL. :D And the problem is not restricted to any breed.THEY ALL DO IT. Best of luck trying to solve the problem , If you do please let us all know, as Im sure I would like to stop my babies, who will not want to miss out on that horrible part of their development.

Hi, I have just recently adopted two older shihtzu dogs from Sydney. One of the dogs named Banjo is extremely hyperactive and eats his own feaces. I am constantly watching him to clean up as soon as he messes but sometimes im not quick enough and with six furry friends in tow I am finding this difficult. does any one have any ideas as to what could be causing the problem. The vet inspection on his arrival placed him in reasonably good health. but i wasnt aware of this problem then. He had sever flea infestation and bad dermititis. We have cleaned up those problems and given time his hair will return. Is he missing something in his diet. HELP PLEASE
