I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. I'm really sorry if it isn't. There is a "young" female boxer in our local shelter that was picked up as a stray. Apparently she had puppies and then was just dumped somewhere. Anyway, I already have a 3-yr. old male boxer and two skin kids (plus...

All four of Buster's paws appear swollen today. He is licking them quite a bit, but doesn't appear to be in pain (i.e. he keeps prodding me for his walk). They look somewhat reddened between each toe. The main part is the swelling. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea what it might be before...

I've visited this website millions of times but never registered until yesterday. I love hearing all of the stories and suggestions from other boxer-lovers. We currently share our residence with two skin kids, and one fawn male (Buster Brown - 2 years old). Sugar Ray passed away two years ago...
