Hi All, It’s been a long time since I last posted. In the last two years we have had some major dramas in our little family that have kept me away. Nearly two years ago our rescue girl Connie swallowed a bone at a relative’s house which lodged in her esophagus. Connie had major surgery to...

Hi All. It’s been a long time since however I come across a health question with my Connie that I need some help with. Three days ago Connie came down with a sick stomach and was vomiting bile two times an hour. After a couple of hours we took her to the emergency vet where she was diagnosed...

If you are not fussed rescue a boxer. There are plenty out there that would love a great home. We started with a puppy (Atlas) and then rescued Connie. Connie is a far more affection dog then Atlas, I think mainly due to the fact that he has been spoilt all his life. Rescue dogs can come...

Thanks for the advice Debbie. I wasn't going to use the drugs as a primary solution, or at all. Was more asking the question to just see if anyone has used it. I really wasn't happy with any of the solutions that the vet provided and that is why I am going to see another vet. I will be...

I think a much better alternative would be to feed your rescue a good diet and watch him get fuller and more healthy. Creatine is a supplement that body builders use to help the muscle retain water making them look fuller and also helping them lift more for longer periods. It doesnt actually...

Hi All, This is a long story so excuse the length. I have been having problems with our baby girl Connie that reached a terrible new height last night. Over the last 6 months our little rescue girl has really come out of her shell, much more playful and a lot more confident in herself...

Atlas is twice the size of Connie, but the biggest wuss. Connie will always bark and stand her ground whilst Atlas gives a bark then sulks and hides behind me.

Thanks for all the kind words. I will keep the routine advice in mind.

We adopted Connie and she was older then Atlas. We made sure that they were introduced very slowly but the got on great from the start. Connie was and still is very attached to my partner but because of her abused past she is only letting me get a little bit closer every week, but I love her...

Hi All, Long time since I have been to BW and have missed every second of it. Since I have last posted my fiancé and I have adopted our rescue boxer (8 months ago). A beautiful little fawn girl named "Connie". She was returned to the breeder from a couple that were going through a divorce...

We will keep Cookie in our thoughts. When Connie had a massive lump removed in her side you would never have picked she had major surgery. They are just unbelievable.

Congratulations. Two boxers is the best. Twice the fun and three times the work:)

I was once feeding Atlas a BARF diet then for one reason or another I took the easy way out and stopped. I am hell bent on starting again. I have the veggie mush and bones sorted but wanted to know if there is any particular fruit or veg that you steer clear of? I have heard apple seeds are...

Most people will say that it really doesnt matter but from my personal experience, and this may be a pure situational thing, Atlas just couldn't get on with other males. As we wanted a rescue baby we always took Atlas to meet his potential bother/sister on neutral grounds. We went and visited...

Hi All, Well after speaking to the vet yesterday and reading many posts here I am going ahead and getting Atlas desexed. Hoping to curb some of his aggressive tendencies amongst all the health issues. I am ringing the vet tomorrow to make a date. I will let you all know when it is. I...
