They are prone to frequent ear infections if ears are not cleaned regularly. This is due to the deep ear canal of the Cocker Spaniel and the hair that grows in the ears of Shih-Tzus. Groomer should pluck hair from ears to prevent infections. This breed may also suffer from allergies which can be treated by your veterinarian.
