my shih tzu had an operation on a disc in her neck in July and now has a bad disc in her lower back. could this be a genetic problem?Optional Information: Age: 3; Female; Breed: shih tsu
This breed is somewhat prone to back and disc problems so it could be. It could also be the result of a trauma, even if you did not see an acciden happen.
Let me know if you still have questions about this.
