I write more about obesity in the Shih Tzu than I do about a
Shih Tzu that could be “too thin.” In general the Shih Tzu is a hearty breed.
They tend more toward wanting to eat too much. Yet there is
always another side to every story or an opposite position.
Shih Tzu too thin is quite apparently the opposite of a Shih Tzu
being obese. This type of Shih Tzu might also be nicknamed “a
poor doer.” It is often, however, that a concerned Shih Tzu
owner will think their Shih Tzu is one of these “poor doers,”
when in fact the vet may tell you the dog is in excellent
condition.
A healthy Shih Tzu is not a plump Shih Tzu, although
some in the show dog world continues to confuse “well-bodied”
with “fat.” The standard for the Shih Tzu calls for it to be
“compact,” which I suppose can also mean “well-bodied.” A
compact Shih Tzu is one that is just that – Compact – not fat
and flabby.
One of the first things to check when dealing with a Shih Tzu
that is actually underweight despite eating normally is that has
the Shih Tzu been wormed regularly?
There is nothing worse than
the presence of worms for keeping a Shih Tzu or any dog “thin.”
So of very much importance is keeping your Shih Tzu wormed
properly.
If this has been done regularly and your Shih Tzu is
still thin, you really need to consult with your vet. There
could be an underlying health problem such as diabetes.
When all
health problems have been ruled out by your vet oftentimes just
the increase of quality food intake is sufficient to put some
meat on the bones of a Shih Tzu and help to accomplish that neat
compact look called for in the standard. You will probably want
to go with a diet that is high in calories. Offer nutritional
and high calorie treats as well. You might even treat your
underweight Shih Tzu to some homemade deserts, treats and food
in addition to his high quality commercially prepared food and treats.
Shih Tzu is extremely intelligent and clever. They will
challenge you in intelligence. I continue to believe they
understand much more of what is really going on in their
environment than people realize. If they get a hint you are
going to “pamper” them about eating, they may hold it over on
you and try to see just exactly what you will offer them in the
way of “different foods” for them to try.
I suppose how I would like to conclude this article is if you
think your Shih Tzu is too thin, first rule out worms and health
problems. Then proceed slowly at finding ways to add extra
calories to your Shih Tzu’s diet. Don’t panic about the
situation and don’t ever let your Shih Tzu know you are
“worried” about its thin condition.
I live with the Shih Tzu as a keen interest
in exactly who the Shih Tzu truly is. I am fascinated by their
personalities and behaviors, and I am learning firsthand just
how clever the Shih Tzu can be about all situations in a
household. If I did not know it impossible, I would say for sure
the Shih Tzu is actually another form of a highly intelligent
perhaps genius “human being.”
