sounds kind of similar. Jackson started with bumps a couple years ago ane we we through many food changes. It didn't seem like anything worked. He never scratched or itched though. Eventually he began to lose his hair. We had him tested a couple weeks ago. The outcome was that he has...

Good luck from Maryland. It is good to hear he has an appetite and is playing.

holter We received the results from Jack'sholter test today. The test showed that he had a few periods of frequent arrythmia, so the doctor has prescribed him medication to go along with everything else the poor guy has been battling. He seems to be about the same he has had a few more...

very sorry We are very sorry to hear of your loss. We have had a rough past couple of weeks with one of our boys, Jackson. We are trying to do all we can for him but still try to prepare for the worst. You can find his story in the post "Jackson's Update". They do become just like children...

The latest We brought Jackson home last Friday from the hospital of course he was very tired. Saturday was pretty rough he had a few stumbling episodes I can't really say fainting because they are more of a dizzy stumbling spell. We are still waiting for his holter test. However, Sunday was...

Back Again Well Jackson had a couple fainting spells again this morning and right now he is back in the hospital. He not only is being treated for some kind of heart condition as well as his hypothyroidism. On top of that his red blood count is low (25) and has been deemed anemic, all he does...

Thanks, that is good to know. I wasn't sure what to expect. Didn't know whether it was something that would happen suddenly or take a few days.

Jackson update Jackson's thyroid tests can back very low, so he is now on meds. We have not got back the results from the Holter device. He has fainted/stumbled a couple times but it is really strange, it only happens after he has been sleeping for a long time. Anyone know how long the meds...

Our dog Jackson has just started on meds for a very low thyroid. Does anyone know how long it should take before they start to work. He is taking one tablet twice a day and so far has taken three pills.

Took Jackson to get his Holter device today, but did not come with either. He had another fainting spell while at the cardiologists office. Suprisingly, hte doctor checked his heart afterwards and it was Slow. Initially we thought that he had Boxer CM, but now after this who knows. He is...

I am leaving in about an hour to go the cardiologist. He is suppose to get the Holter today. His legs do stiffen, he kind of arches his neck and back. I wish there was something I could do...

Okay Jackson just had another fainting spell. Exactly like the others, lies onhis side and then urinates. The have become more frequent and it is really hard to watch. It is really scary to watch such a good companion possibly collapse for the last time.

fainting Does Samson have fainting attacks or does he collapse. This is all new to us and seems very coincidental that he has collapsed after he has been sleeping. I guess we are lucky as well, Jackson is a huge couch potato. He would rather be laying on someone's lap than anything else.

Hi, we are proud owners of two boxers. Finnegan is a 6 year old male fawn and Jackson is a 5 year old brindle male. We live in Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay . We have joined to try and learn more about Boxer CM and heart problems. Jackson has just started having fainting attacks. Thanks a...

I am writing to see if I can get any feedback from those who have dealt with boxer CM. Here's my short story: 1:30 am Monday morning our boxer Jackson awoke us with a "thud" noise, we found him next to his bed lying on his side with stiff legs and urine next to him. At 10:00 pm that same...
