Hi Has anyone any experience of hip displacia? My young dog not yet 4-years-old has hip problems. Big shock as you can imagine. We will love and manage her and cope best we can. Our vet is not for surgery and after thinking it over and talking with a "hip" doctor [for people] neither are we...

Seasonal Alopecia Hi Tell your friends to contact - Hiltonherbs [worldwide] - you can get their address from their website - www.hiltonherbs.com My Boxer girl had seasonal alopecia and we gave up on anything. Then we came across an advert in a dog paper for hiltonherbs. One tub of very...

Alopecia Hi Ozzie Babe was diagnosed with "Seasonal Alopecia". No mites/fleas etc etc. Hilton Herbs "Phytobalm" produced a complete cure. I would highly recommend it. It worked very fast and effectively - even the very stubborn first bit of alopecia. My vet told me that the alopecia was...

JODIE: 13-07-85 - 12-11-97 My very first Boxer. Beautiful dark brindle girl. We will always love you and remember you. You were so precious and we still miss you. xxxxxx Zoe: 01-06-86 - 06-11-98 Beautiful little brindle girl. Just as we dreaded the time we had lost Jodie a year before...

Hi Our first boxer was diagnosed with a mild heart murmur at an early age. In later life she needed medication but even with medication she lived until she was 12 1/2 years old so I hope this gives you something to work on. Glad you decided to keep Ty. He sounds lovely. Augie

Hi Everyone Well its been a while but we may finally have got somewhere with these bald patches. Have tried numerous/countless outlets but finally came across a specialist herbalist in England [Hiltons - www.hiltonherbs.com] who felt that they could help. 3 weeks ago we obtained a tub of their...

Charcoal biscuits will help if its tummy related. I would also change the diet to one of the lower protein diets of rice + chicken

Hi Those rubber hand grooming gloves are brilliant. Babe wiggles about - I have found that if I groom her with one hand - you get adapt at it and hold something like a pigs ear/hard crunchy chew with the other for her to gnaw at, we groom quite successfully. She sees the grooming aid and...

Hi Nope - Babe is a rescue. We were told her age in weeks so worked it backwards from the adoption day - okay its not exact but near enough and only 3 days from my BD! 21/10/99. Do we celebrate together - nope. My 6-year-old nephew says that Babe has to have her own party and she does too...

Hi All same as Copper! Add not just drools but head shakes that send the drools flying round the room. I love you mum look head on knee - lift head and youre covered in slobbers! Tissues are the most handy things! My first boxer was a chocoholic. We had to put bars on all cupboards and she...

Hi Just wondered how u got on - did you take the little bitch home and did she settle? One thing that puzzles me - do you leave your dogs all day long in a crate? Augie

Hi I hope your daughter has not got rid of her boxer. Boxers are known to suffer separation anxiety and I would definitely endorse a crate for this poor girl. Re-homing heragain would be dreadful. A crate will give her the security of her own place. Remove all other bedding and make sure...

Ive been rubbing in oil and changed her diet to "Nutro" which seems to suit her better. How long did it take before u saw an improvement? Augie

COLITIS Anyone with a dog that has Colitis - please ask your vet to try the dog on SALAZOPRYIN [prescription only drug at least it is in the UK]. Your vet may tell you it is an antibiotic and no better than any other but it REALLY DOES WORK! It is not cheap but even if they need a course up...

Hi Sorry to hear your Spice has colitis. I know from experience with Boxers this can be quite distressing for dog and owner. "Wafcol 21" is a very good food for helping to control this problem. Ask your vet about Salazopyrin - it can only be prescription bought but we found it was the best...
