Fatty liver disease is common in small and toy dog breeds including the Shih Tzu. If you own a small dog breed like the Shih Tzu, consider talking to your vet about the disease and it how it may affect your dog. In general, a Shih Tzu’s primary liver function is to produce chemicals necessary for digestion and detoxification of the body. Fatty liver disease occurs when the dog becomes ill and stops eating. This causes his body to go into survival mode by sending excessive amounts of fat to the liver to be broken down into energy. A dog’s liver is not meant to handle such large masses of fat. An abnormal bile flow in the liver and deficient hepatic function is also noted. Not only is the liver unable to process the fat, but it is also unable to process red blood cells.
