The family I got Max from said he was three. Max doesn't seem to be all that bothered by it...but he does scratch...he's been scratching since we got him...but he doesnt appear to have fleas at all. I'd like to get Max back to the vet...but money is really tight...and I'm hoping holistic...

Max finished off his antibiotics but I don't see that it helped any. We started switching him over to blue buffalo food last week. The food my wife had bought, natural life lamaderm, is actually supposed to be for dogs that had allergies to other food...it's all lamb. I'm wondering if maybe...

The vet didnt speak to what type of infection it was. I wasn't impressed with her. She basically told me that he didn't have mange but had a little infection and that she was going to give me some anti-biotics and antihistamine...then she threw down a smoke bomb and disappeared.... I...

We've had max about a month now, it seems since we've had him he's started to have issue with his skin. He's losing a fair amount of fur around the top of his neck and then down his back some. He also has little bumps here and there...one on his head and another on his back..maybe mostquito...

I think I will try moving his poo to the backyard. I have at least gotten him to consistently poo in the front yard now. We still take our walks, they are more enjoyable now as he doesnt have to sniff every little thing on the way. The next step will be to try to get him to go on his own in...

We're still getting to know Max, I've been trying to figure out what he likes to do for "fun". The first full day I had with him we spend some time outside, I threw a few balls for him, he would often chase it down but basically just poke at it with his mouth and then leave it. I thought maybe...

Thanks for the replies, It is my goal in general to walk him regardless of the potty scenario. But I know there will likely be days when I have to go in to work early and a 20 minute walk won't be an option. I tried leashing him in the back yard, but he never relieved himself. I took him...

We just got our 3 year old boxer Max last week. I suppose we're still getting used to each other but I've started to notice some things that don't seem "normal" to me. For this thread, I'm a little concerned about his bathroom behavor. The first full day we had Max he was fine overnight in...

His foster family was calling him Diesel, and he seems to respond well to it so it will likely stick, though the wife isn't fond of the name for some reason. Thanks for the warm welcomes. Trying to link a pic here but it looks like im doing something wrong or img is off ...

Hello All, My wife and I have wanted to get a boxer for quite some time. We originally hoped to get a puppy, as our son is a little skiddish around dogs, but we came across an adult boxer that we couldn't pass up. Apparently his owners foreclosed on their home and he was taken to a...
