7. Late Onset of Seizures
Older Shih Tzus that have seizures should be taken to the vet as quickly as possible. Seizures typically indicate that there is something going wrong with the brain and requires immediately examination and treatment.
8. Tumors of the Mammary Glands
The good news is that tumors of this nature are very easy to spot. They can be removed easily by a vet, as well.
9. Discharge of the Vagina
Any discharge that has no explanation is something that should be examined by a vet. It may be just an infection, but it could also be the onset of cancer.
10. Irregular Testicular Shape
The testicular region is another place where dogs may contract cancer. The most common sign is an irregular shape to one or both testicles.
By taking action early, it is easier to halt or even reverse the onset of cancer in your dog. If any of these signs are observed or your pet just isn't acting like himself, make a vet appointment. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your beloved Shih Tzu.
