Many Shih-Tzus experience normal age-related growths on their skin. It would also be ideal to have them examined by a veterinarian. If these are just age-related warts, they aren’t a major cause for concern, however they can occasionally grow and rupture, causing open sores on the skin. Because of this we have a few recommendations.
First, we would recommend the All Clear Ointment. This can help to soothe the skin and help to bring down any inflammation. The Petomega3 would also be a benefit in helping to maintain the integrity of her skin and coat. It is also very beneficial in other ways, helping the joints and heart for example. An overall immune support would also be beneficial to help fight infection that may occur on these warts. The BK Detox will help to cleanse impurities from your pup’s body and help to boost the immune system. If your veterinarian thinks these warts are caused by another condition, there may be other options to help. For your pup with heart disease, Hearty Heart helps to maintain good blood flow to the heart, aids with circulation and keeps energy levels up. We have seen great success with it in cardiac patients. If your pup is having associated breathing difficulties, we recommend the Resp-Aid. It can really help to open up the airways and reduce stress on the lungs, which in turn reduces stress on the heart. And finally, because the heart and kidneys work closely together, your pup’s kidneys might be stressed. The kidneys try to compensate for the lack of adequate blood flow that comes along with heart disease and this can put a lot of pressure on them. Tripsy would be a good choice to help maintain kidney health.
