    What do you mean "she starts jerking" ? Will you please give a little more detail as to exactly what she is doing?

    I have a Shih-Tzu also and she does the jerking thing. It kind of looks like a muscle spasm... right? Our 8 month old Shih-Tzu did the same thing. As far as the barking... Shih-Tzus have very sensitive ears. They hear very well and will bark if anything sounds a little unusual. Their ears are so sensitive that occasionally the sound of music or singing or even someone speaking in a high pitch voice will set them off. I am sure she is okay but I would definitely go see a vet just to make sure there isn't something else going on.
