Breeders My first boxer was given to us for $15.00. She was the last in the litter because a 13 year boy came to get her and his Mom made him take her back. She was 95% boxer and had all the boxer traits. She was the best $15.00 we ever spent!! After she passed from boxer cardiomyopathy we...

Cardiomyopathy I am so sorry to hear about Doc. I too had a boxer for 10 and 1/2 years in which the last 3 and 1/2 she was on five human meds for cardiomyopathy. She had several episodes over the 3 years until her final one during a thunderstorm by our sides. It was very upsetting to see her...

Lumps My Barkley got some lumps underneath her chin that would constantly break open and bleed when she played with her chew toys. It was almost like dog acne. I read in a boxer book to put Iodine on them and low and behold they cleared up and hasn't had any since. I hope this helps. :)...

Meds-Mexiletine Hi, I just read your question about Mexil. I hope Buddy is doing ok. My first boxer was diagnosed with boxer cardiomyopathy when she was 7 and lived another 3 and 1/2 years. She was on several meds that really controlled her cardiomyopathy. She still had some episodes with...

Heart problems Hi, I just wanted to tell you we are thinking of Apollo!! We too had a boxer who was diagnosed with boxer cardiomyopathy. She stayed alive on 5 human meds every day of her life for 3 and 1/2 years. She had her first attack at 7 and several after that before her final in 2002...

Pancreatitus HELP!! My boxer Barkley just had stomach surgery 2 weeks ago and found that she has pancreatitus. She has done really well since until 2 minutes ago she threw up. I am concerned because we took her with us last night to friends and she could have gotten a hold of something that...

Head Tremors My first boxer had a couple of head tremors but nothing ever came about it. She also was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy 6 years later. I do not know if this related. I am too concerned because my current almost 2 year old Boxer had her first tremor yesterday in the car. She had...

Hello all, we are the Liles family and we have lived in Cumming, GA for 14 years. We had our beloved boxer Alex for 10 and 1/2 years and lost her to Boxer cardiomyopathy. We immediatley found another Boxer puppy within a few weeks. We got really lucky. Our breeder decided to give her...
