Question

Boo Boo Hi, I have a question about my Diasy. She is six year old female standerd Shih-Tzu, and she's snord ever since we got her. Is this normale? Also, is six old? or midle aged?
if you need to know we've had her since she was a month old. Allie

Answer
Hi - Yes, some dogs of this breed will do a snore sound. If you are concerned talk to your vet. If the snore gets bad then she may have allergies.
I do have some supplements and vitamins that help dogs with snoring and allergies.

Oh, 6 is almost middle aged.... I would call 7 1/2 middle aged for a Shih Tzu.... ( average live 13-15 yrs)
