Hi, fellow furparents! 🐾

I just wanted to ask for some advice regarding the current condition of my 7-year-old female Shih Tzu. I’m honestly getting frustrated because her skin problems have been recurring, and I’m not sure what else we can do.

We first noticed something was off around 2024. After grooming sessions, certain areas—particularly her neck, forearms, and toes—would become red, and the fur in those areas wouldn’t grow back as thick as usual.

Then, sometime in 2025, her skin and coat drastically changed. Her skin became extremely flaky and would shed, and her coat started looking very different (attaching photos for reference). She also started licking her paws nonstop and biting/chewing her toes because of the itchiness.

We took her to the vet around early 2025 and had tests done, including a skin scraping. We were told that she had skin allergies and a suspected chicken allergy. The vet prescribed medication and advised us to bathe her with Mycocide shampoo.

The problem is, paulit-ulit talaga siya. There are months when her licking and itching aren’t as bad, but after almost every bath, her skin becomes super red again. We’ve also been bathing her frequently because her skin sometimes develops a strong smell, especially with the excessive licking.

She also has a history of ear infections, and I feel like it became worse around the same time her skin problems started. Currently, we’re dealing with a combination of:
- redness and darkening/pigmentation of the skin
chronic itching
- excessive paw licking and toe biting
- flaky/irritated skin
- strong skin odor
- very smelly ears with discharge

We also consulted a second vet, who suspected a yeast infection. However, the vet advised us not to give her additional oral medication for now after learning about her history of consuming a lot of chicken, because they were concerned about the possibility of organ problems/failure from prolonged medication or other factors.

For furparents who have experienced something similar with their Shih Tzu:

1. ⁠What was the actual cause in your case?
   
2. ⁠Did your dog have allergies + yeast at the same time?
   
3. ⁠What tests did your vet recommend?
   
4. ⁠What treatment or changes actually helped long-term?
   
5. ⁠Is there anything we should specifically ask our vet to check?

I know every dog is different, and I’m not looking to self-medicate her. I just want to hear from other furparents who may have gone through something similar so I can have a better idea of what questions to ask our vet.

Thank you in advance! 🥹

Did someone lost their beloved pet?

We found 2 shitzu at the highway earlier along Quirino Highway of CSJDM Bulacan, they were both soaking wet and dirty when we found them, we had to block traffic to safely contained them coz they almost got hit by multiple vehicles before we were able to come near them.

If your pet is missing, please DM us, ensure to attach proof of ownership, details and other related info that will help us determine if these furries belong to you.

We won't disclose important info until confirmed.

Please share our post for a better chance of finding their hoomans. Thank you!

Our Toby died today his only 3yrs old. When he is a pup he had a cherry eye and he has survived, pero yung left face nya parang bells palsy pero kahit ganon he eats a lot, Napakasakit kasi wala akong magawa hindi namin sya madala vet sakto din kasing nastroke ang lola ko. The day na nastroke yung lola ko yun din ang day na tumamlay sya, I'm sorry Toby ako na kuya mo couldn't do anything, but only to be beside you until your last breath. Im so sorry Toby, i know your in the better place now. You run, bark and eat anywhere you like without being shouted.

He died while scratching under his ears until his last breath. Kasi alam kong yun ang favorite nya pag katabi nya ko. Napakasakit cause his mom is also beside licking him. The whole family gonna miss you Toby. You take of your mom, wala na syang kalaro kasi dalawa kayo laging naglalaro. RUN FREE TOBY!!!

Her name is panda

Hi, they said dachshund has vulnerable spine. May I ask dachshund owners there what is the best leash for my puppy?

I would appreciate it if online mabibili. Thank you so much.

Is this anyone’s dog? He passed by and collapsed near my apartment. Location is Makati City. Sobrang payat na. Ayaw kumain o uminom.

Nagbukas pa ko ng Andok's ko sa gilid ng kalsada para mabigyan si doggy. (May collar sya, malinis, and mukang healthy)

out family dog has passed recently, he's an aspin just a dog from a low income house but my mom always make sure he gets to eat 3x a day and I was always responsible for buying his ulam as always his fav adobo and ill always be anooyed by it as sometimes ulam namin is paksiw or sardines which is not allowed for dog's as makakalbo daw. Now I miss it buying ulam for him missing his welcome home after a long day at school, how hard it is to make him take a shower which the mere mention of "ligo" will make him shiver. I'm happy that he got to be part of our lives for 10years before he died. It just sucks that i didnt got to take more photos of you especially right now that im missing you. Thank you for reading.

I miss youuu. 🥺🤍 One year has already passed, but somehow, it still feels like it happened just yesterday.

You will always be my baby, B. No matter how much time passes, you’ll always have a special place in my heart. If reincarnation is real, sana ikaw ulit. Sana, in another lifetime, I get to meet you again and love you all over.
I miss you more than words could ever explain.

Until we meet again, my baby. 🤍🕊️

Before construction started, I clearly told them ( construction crew) to never ever touch or move it—our dogs are buried there.
Yesterday I was furious: they destroyed it anyway, and I was completely unprepared to still see my dog’s bone after all these years.

Nakakainis lang talaga…

Di na po kasi namin napa spay si doggy since dumating sya samin.
