Andy there is something very wrong with you. To think you are breathing perfectly good air I could be breathing.
Any way..With good vet care and your care..A Shih Tzu can live to be 15 to 20 years..Mine is 13 and still going strong.
I hope I am wrong but I think you are worrying you may have to take care of this dog longer than you want to. If that the case you should start finding the dog a good home. If you live in Ohio I will take her. I also wonder why you would take on a dog that you weren't willing to take care of for the rest of her life. I am sure she is missing her owner. Think on that one will yeah.

My first Shitzu lived to the age of 21. I now have a pair that will be 12 in May and they haven't slowed down at all.

shih-tzus tend to have a very short live expectancy. this is because of theuy high pitched constant barking. it troubles everyone until it drives them to the point of having to kill the dog. if shih-tzus would perhaps stfu every now and again, they could live to an old age well beyond a humans normal life span.

There is no way to tell how long a dog will live she could die tomorrow or she coud live till she 15. You never know.
