QuestionWe were given a Shih tzu puppy. He's almost 5 months old. A few days I have noticed a small twitch
or spasm to his lower back almost as if he had the hiccups. It doesn't last long but it has happened more then once. I didn't think hiccups would reoccur so often. It only last for a few seconds but I'm concerned. Is this something I need to look into ?
AnswerHi Bonnie, You may want the Vet to give this baby a good exam. Sounds like muscle spasms?
Please see the Vet. I am sure you shih tzu needs some puppy shots again. They sure do need them often the first year of life.
Best wishes,
