Thanks for the suggestions. I did take her to the vet this weekend and she suggested trying a "high energy dog" dog food before putting her on the higher fat Hills diet. So I went and got some Nutro high energy dog food with some Iams gravy and she seems to be eating better (i'm sure because...

We have just moved and our boxer is pretty stressed and anxious. She's not eating real well unless I mix something in with it. She has lost wieght and is starting to look a bit bony. Does anyone know of a good high calorie dog food or a healthier way to get her to eat MORE (or more high...

Thank you for the kind words and the helpful input. I just searched on the internet for veterinary oncology in our area and found a place that I liked that I'm going to call tomorrow. I think that will give me more piece of mind knowing exactly what is going on and maybe hearing it again (and...

I guess I'm just looking for more information or anyone who has experienced the same type of syptoms with their dog when they've had cancer or if it could possibly be something else. We have a 7 year old white boxer who started losing wieght in January with no change in diet. We then noticed...

Thank you all for your speedy input. I've been thinking about it all day here at work. Maybe i will limit roughhousing between the dogs and children if need be, as the first couple posts suggest. I've always just saw it as them having fun playing together. And the rolling of her on her back...

Hi there- Hoping someone has some insight on this. We have a 4 month old female boxer who is an absolute sweetheart. We also have a 3 year old boxer and two sons, 8 and 9 years old. The two dogs and two boys play and wrestle constantly, they are pretty much like 4 big puppies! Our puppy is...
