QUESTION: My friend has a 3yr old lhasa apso,she has had 2 litters from the dog in a year. The dog was badly treated by previous owner, however the wee dog is now poo'ing all the time in the house and its driving her mad...can anyone give advice on what to do? I dont want to see the wee dog being given away just because its poo'ing over house. What can be done,or does it just need to go to a new home where it will be a pet and not used just for breeding? I have a shih tzu with a lovely nature and would consider taking this lhaso if i knew what the problem was

QUESTION: Suddenly my Lhasa Apso will not come in the house. He is 11 years old. If we pick him up and bring him inside he just goes right back out or if we block the way out, he goes under bed. I know dogs and cats separate themelves from other when they are dying. Does anyone have another solution for this behavior?

QUESTION: Hi, It's already really cold winter, not snowing though, i live in the desert. I was wondering if my Lhasa Apso needs a sweater? He doesn't like it at all.

Depends on age & health conditions and the coat you allowed (i mean if your Lhasa Apso is trimmed to the skin, then a good sweater is needed always). I have a mat ready for my 13-yr-old darling to cuddle on (and icepacks wrapped in a towel in summer) or she can choose to just lie on the tiled floor if she feels fine. But I insist on asweater if we go for walks. Watch for signs like shivering or curling legs close to/under tummy esp at 15 deg C or below .. you will know if you watch closely .. hope this helps! ~~Amy

Depending on how you have him groomed, how cold it is & how long he's out...Probably not though. It's about 35 degrees here now, and our Lhasa Apso is in a "puppy" trim. He doesn't like cold, but runs out just long enough to do his business. He doesn't mind wearing clothes at all but I've found that it's easier to just have him unclothed on potty runs because he just pees on his clothes.

No. Your lhasa apso is far far too young. You endanger both her health and that of her pups. Please get her to the vets now!

They do not bark at the back door, they seem reliant on me opening the door, which leads to accidents, I so want them to have free range of my little cottage but am most concerned, my efforts of toilet training have been in vain

QUESTION: my lhasa apso is 9 years old and sits down and yelps putting her right leg out. Took her to the vet a few times and they put it down to her anal glands.
Had her urine checked and also checked her for pancreas and everything turned out ok. They gave me pain killers and antibiotics for her. 5 days later she is still doing the same. She also feels so heavy and I am not over feeding her. Any one had same problems? Will see vet asap!

Lhasa Apso dogs are suseptible to what I call a "trick" knee...our 4 year old male has one - it slips in and out of place sometimes, and he will sometimes yelp when he jumps off the couch and it happens. If she isn't exhibiting any other symptoms I wouldn't worry - but if she seems to be having trouble walking or jumping I would definitely take her back to the vet.

QUESTION: My 81/2 year old lhasa (male) has suddenly appeared to lose his sight. He struggles to locate me when I come home and has walked into walls and is struggling to get downstairs. He also shakes his head quite a lot, but think this is down to a reoccuring ear infection. Has anyone had any similar problems with their lhasa? Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Sounds like your Lhasa Apso has been treated before. If it is simply a re occurrence get another treatment and keep the maintenance after recovery (usually a weekly ear-drop). But if his sight is also affected, it could be his nerves or multiple-complications. Don't guess. Get a good vet and a complete check asap. I settled down with the sixth vet when my 13-yr-old was ill in Jun (heartworm history, sudden liver and kidney complications and a tumour in her spleen). She was considered 'a gone case' but we (both she and I) didn't give up. All blood tests were nursed back to normal within a month and stay that way. She is still as playful and happy as ever (except for the medication part)... ~~Amy

My 13 yr old Lhasa Apso (picked her up from the streets 10 yrs ago when she was dying from heart worm, est 3 yrs old then) can hardly see where light is dim, and starts to ramp into walls and doors esp when she turns around. Her cornea is undamaged, no cataracts or hostile infections but her retina is aging and her pupils 'remain large' ie her eye muscles are decreasing ther ability to repond to light. Also, she is left with about 2 to 3 small blood vessels each eye(she should have at least 1 or 2 large ones and various small ones for a 30 lb doggy)-- diagnosed as symptoms of old age. Prescrption - anti-oxidation supplements (a Jap product abt usd50 for 180 tabs and Golden Age which costs much less) and UV protection but my darling won't ear sunglasses so I just avold taking her out when the sun is strong and always have curtains 80% at home. Hope this helps anyone who loves ther aging campanions. ~~Amy

Hi my name is christina and our lhasa apso called missy was the same for about 3 weeks crying at night drinking loads and we took her to the vet and isaid her eyes are not the same,then he put the light and put the torch to her eyes and sais almost sure she is blind. Just do everything as normal keep her food in the same place and keep a radio on if you leave her at home when at work. We are having problems with her walking now as she wants to turn back. Do not spoil her with food because when they go blind they panic thinking how will I see when my next meal is coming from so they will bark to get fed all the time. It is so sad and we have to go on as normal so good luck hope this helps love missy xx

Hi our 9 year ols lhasa apso has just gone blind in both eyes, what a shock for us! Although for 3 weeks she has been acting strange crying at night and we notice when we put something down she would sniff and walk by it. How is your dog and what changes did you make?
Sad times, but will still spoil her rotten xx

I took my 8 1/2 lhasa to the vet today as he appeared to have lost his sight. Was told that he is blind in his right eye and the left isn't all that great either. I would get him/her to the vets to get it checked out as the vet said that it looked like Jasper had had a number of eye problems as it looked scarred (I'v never known him to have any problems at all with his eyes). Needless to say I felt dreadful as im now thinking that it could have been prevented! However, he seems to be really happy and is coping better than I am I think. Hope your little bundle is ok.

QUESTION: my Lhasa is 9 mo. He is remarkably smart and does well with commands, untill he gets out front and he is hard headed about coming back when I call him but in time I'm sure that will be corrected. My concern is this, he doesn't chase his tail, but when he lays down he will grab it and act like he is trying to pull it off! I have watched him and he will have this tug of war game for a good 2-3 min. He was wormed in april and I hear you should only do this 2 times a year. Any ideas on what could be going on?

I have a 2 year old Lhasa that is totally golden about doing his business "outdoors"...but .if for some rare reason we forget to take him outside or if we are away too long, he knows he can use the walk-in shower (we have a piddle pad down all the time for any emergency), i.e. a heavy rainstorm.

Make sure you take your Lhasa Apso out every ten mins and only respond to her when she does a pee or poo. Get a crate and if she does pee or poo any where put her in it and dont get her out till she has stopped barking for 5 mins that way she is not getting attention for peeing and pooing in the house and also not getting attention for barking. its hard wok but it really does work it does take time

Cherry eye is an allergic reaction. The glans in the eye tend to pop out. My Lhasa is going on 5 years old and has cherry eye. The vets explain that it is only cosmetic. Just make sure they say clean and you will be okay. Oh and it doesn't both her at all.

Respond to Question
She probably told you that because that is what she was feeding. If you change your lhasa apso's diet don't just go to another kind of food. Gradually move them over to what you would like to feed, if you switch over all of a sudden they will have diarrhea problems. Another thing, dont feed them lamb and rice products.
