Shih Tzu Wants Constant Scratching at Night

Question

Hello, I have a shih tzu, Munchkin, he's 10 months old and lately he's been acting weird at night. He constantly wants me to scratch his head and face all night long. If I'm not touching him, he jerks his body heavily and if I don't touch him, he starts growling a little and barking. Can you please help me with this or give me some ideas? Thank you.

Answer

Dear Pet Owner,
Munchkin may have a physical problem, or he may have a behavior problem. He needs a visit to your veterinarian to rule out one or the other!
