As you can see by looking at one, Shih
Tzus require more care than other breeds, especially when the hair is kept long.
Since Shih
Tzus are highly active, it goes without saying that they
require a large amount of number to rebuild and strengthen their bones, muscles, and body further.
Short - coated breeds such as English bulldogs (FIGURE 5), Staffordshire terriers, and Boston terriers, along with longer - coated breeds such as shih
tzus, West Highland White terriers, and Scottish terriers, seem to be predisposed.2, 4 In Chinese Shar - Peis, skin thickness may make finding the mites on a deep skin scraping difficult, and diagnosis may
require obtaining skin biopsy samples for histopathology (see DIAGNOSIS).2, 4,5 Additional predisposing factors are listed in BOX 1.
