My Shih Tzu won't eat, is cold, seeks cool places. Vets confused.

Question

My Shih Tzu, 4 years, doesn't want to eat nor drink. Body temperature decreased to 36°. The more confusing thing is she always wanna go to cold place like bathroom. Even Vets around me can't explain the reason, they also confused with it. She likes to put her mouth above the water, and hide her face on the corner of the wall. Blood test result no need to be worried, the vets said. No signs of tumors, strokes, inflammatory, poisoning, trauma, canine distemper, etc. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 8 months old | 30.864722 lbs

I can see Aubrey is quite overweight, with all the other symptoms I would suspect hypothyroidism which is an endocrine disease that is sometimes missed on normal blood test. I would recommend asking your vet to test her for it, if it comes back positive at least you will have a condition that is treatable.
