The information on Shih Tzu dogs says that some are prone to "spinal disc disease". Does your dog have a long back? It could be from bad breeding. It says that a well bred dog will have a short, cobby back, not long. How long have you had him? You need to see the vet ASAP about his pain. He could end up paralized if you don't take him to a vet for x-rays of his spine. I wish you & Kobe all the best of luck with this! God bless...
