I am going to make that call today and see if we can get him some help. I was ready to buy a muzzle but thought that might just put a bandaid on the leak in the dam, so to speak. He loves to go in the car and just waits patiently for me unless someone gets close to the car. My daughter feels...

I have had my boxer since he was 9 weeks old. He is not aggressive to other dogs just people. My daughter encourages him to be protective, like when he hears something at the door, he goes and barks and she tells him "good boy". He always minds her and has never bit at her. The guy at the gas...

I am becoming very concerned about my boxer that is a year and 3 months old. I am afraid he is becoming seriously aggressive and don't know why. He runs up at people when off his leash from his yard, he acts like he would bite them. I told him no, harshly several times then tried to catch...

I just decided to leave them alone and love him however he looks. They are standing up pretty well, someone said the other day that they thought boxers had longer ears. Oh well! He is adorable to me--that means I should have been content with having them uncropped and he wouldn't have had to...

Sounds like common sense to me but naturally I relied on my vet to be the expert, as he has done many ears before(???). I had them cropped at 11 weeks and he taped them but left them apart and they kinda flopped to the side. My daughter and I pulled them together and taped that. Also they...

Thank you for all the great information. I will look for someone to help me when they heal, I wish I had found this forum before this tragedy! Poor Chevy:(

I think my vet is not too up on the boxer ears. I felt so bad about the whole experience that I would never crop again. Too much pain for a little puppy that I induced. I was wondering how to get your picture on the post and what are the paw prints for. Sorry, I am just new to the forum page.

Last week I had Chevy's ears cropped, they weren't very long because the vet said we waited too late. He did not keep the tape on, he just bloodied them getting them off. We tried to retape ourselves with no luck-biting occured. Took him back to the vet yesterday, he taped them very well and...

Margo, I thought about a urinary infection but he is on an antibiotic for a cold so I thought he shouldn't have one. I will just try to watch him closer but we are all amazed at the number of times he can "go" in a day. When we are at work he goes for 7 or 8 hours without an accident in his...

I just had my puppy's ears cropped at 11 weeks old and the vet said he couldn't leave them long because it was too late, they wouldn't stand. He has shorter ears and would not leave the tape on and was keeping the sides bloody. We took off the tape and tried to heal them with the neosporin...

I have my first boxer puppy that is now 11 weeks old. He goes everytime I take him outside. He stays in his crate for about 7 hours without going to the bathroom, so I know he can hold it. If he is out in the house, I take him out about every hour or so. Never fails, we have about 8...
