You have to observe this symptom because it is telling you that there is something wrong with their sight. First, they start getting completely blind in the dark but they might start getting blind even when there is light in the future.

Hip Dysplasia in big dogs are normal because the it is the anomaly of hipbones development. They also have issue with their joints and thigh, which cause them the unbalance of their body.

The best way to cure these symptoms is to have a surgery. This is the long-term cure for your Shih Tzu and prevent their eyes to have the irritation in the future.
.

If you let your pets have Cryptorchidism, it can lead to cancer in the future.

Cataracts. If there is a stain on the glasses, we can use cloth to wipe it out. However, if your pet cannot see clearly, we cannot use cloth to wipe it out. If your Shih Tzu start to have a blurry vision, the root cause might be a slit of a protein within cornea. Cataracts can come from many factors such as diabete.
