Important Information
Umbilical (belly button) hernias are common in the shih tzu and are not considered a health problem as long as the opening is small, with only a fat pad (no intestines) protruding, it will likely close by itself as the puppy matures (usually by 8 months of age). If at the time of spay/neuter and the umbilical hernia still exists, then a minor surgical repair to the area will resolve the hernia. As with the slightly pinched nostrils caused by teething, many veterinarians unfamiliar with the breed are much too quick to recommend surgery. It is recommended the puppy be allowed to mature before making a decision if surgery is needed. (18 months of age is when the shih tzu is considered full grown/mature.)
Should the Shih Tzu develop a major communicable disease i.e.: distemper, parvovirus within seven (7) days from the date of pick up from Oriental Beauties Shih Tzu, you must notify us immediately and we will provide instructions for replacement of the shih tzu, provided written proof from a FULL SERVICE licensed veterinarian is present. Cost of vet exam, medication if any & return trip or shipment is not the responsibility of Oriental Beauties Shih Tzu.
