You are here: Experts > Animals/Pets > Dog Breeds > Shih Tzus > Mini Shitzu Peeing & poop; uti in shih tzu; Shih Tzus - Mini Shitzu Peeing & poop; uti in shih tzu;Expert: Marie Peppers shih tzu expert - 6/2/2009 Question My Mini Shitzu is 4 years olds. Over the last month, she has decided to relieve herself indoors...pee and "boo boo." When i come home and greet her, she ultimately pees whereever I greet her and then promptly licks it up. Help Please! Answer Hi Segaro, I wonder if she has a urinary infection???? Please have the vet test her and do some blood work. Also, if you change her food it may help the pooping. I would go to a Grain-free food if possible. My favorites are Innova EVO, Wellness Core, and Merrick BEFORE grain. Also, SoJO home cooking - grain free green bag... here is the SoJo link- ( free shipping to any USA address) http://www.sojos.com/index.aspx?affiliate=petnurse When changing food do it slowly over a 2-3 week period of time... YOU can do a 50:50 mix of the old food and new food. I feel that this gal MUST have a urinary infection! She must.... She will need antibiotic from the vet for this. In the future .... make sure she is taking 1/2 of a NuVET wafer per day or the NuVET Powder - it will keep her healthy and KEEPs the vet away. http://www.nuvet.com/81098 Little dogs tend to like the NuVET Plus powder better than the wafers. Call 1-800-474-7044 ( tell them order code 81098 and you are working with Pet Nurse Marie Peppers) Good luck ! Marie Peppers Ask the Pet Nurse | |
