Hi everyone I live in the South of France so winters aren't that long but it can get cold and sometimes Conker gets chilly. Do any of you know of somewhere I could get him a jumper ?? Boxers are a funny shape ( by funny, I of course mean beautiful ! ) so a standard dog wouldn't fit I presume...

Hi All My boy Conker is on pain med for something in his back. The vet gave him a perfusion on Thursday evening and we noticed Conker was drinking soooo much. We also noticed when he well and truly wet his bed .... He's been on pain pills since then and he's drinking constantly AND we're...

Thanks for the healing vibes Hammer and Hammer's mum ! The vet didn't really know what was wrong, he checked the prostrate, back etc. Something's wrong but wasn't sure what. Complete " bed " rest for 5 days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has to stay in his basket, quietly !!!!!!!! My boy really is...

Hi All Would really appreciate some thoughts. This morning I went to walk Conker and he wasn't really excited like he normally is. But he perked up and we went for a short walk. He wasn't pulling at first like he usually does but just as we were arriving back home he spotted a cat .... He...

Hi everyone Just to say an enormous thank you !!!! I was at my wits end through the constant pulling of my boy on the lead. Before I moved house it wasn't so much a problem as he was walked off lead but now he is much longer on the lead. The walks became very quickly a real pain in the **** -...

Hi All This isn't for my boy, Conker, but the boxer of a colleague. He brings his boxer to work as we work in a shipyard and he has free run of the yard. The problem is several times a week, this boxer rolls in poo. Does anyone have any idea WHY ? Is it to cover up another smell he doesn't like...

Hi All My boy, Conker, is 3 years old. We moved house recently to an area which has a bit of a bad reputation. We did not choose Conker as a guard dog but because we fell for him. He's the lovliest, friendliest dog you could meet. But, I had hoped that if someone came to burgle the house or if...

Hey ! I took a few years to convince my hubbie that there isn't another breed quite like a boxer. He couldn't see it but I wore him down and now he couldn't have another dog !! Once you've had a boxer, I don't think you can have another. She must have some sense if she's a Brummie lass ...

You should start thinking about arthritis now. It can start at any age. The arthritis in my baby started, I know now, when he was only a puppy. He really rough houses when he plays in the woods with his friends and always has and he got very stiff back legs sometimes in the evenings...

Carrie, the only problem is arthritis apparently but as Dukie's mum says, Conker may benefit from surgery to clean up bits of bone that may be floating around in there. I was just a bit worried because no one on the arthritis threads I looked at mentioned surgery. Anyway, apparently...

The same thing happened to my boxer, Conker, when he was about 5 months old. He'd be asleep, would get up and there would be a little puddle where he'd been lying down. I never got mad because I knew he wasn't being naughty, he was completely unaware of what had happened. It was kind of...

Hi everyone My boxer is 2 1/2 years old and has, for most of his life, had problems with occasional stiff legs in the evening. I took him to see my vet who had a good look, and manipulated him, but found nothing wrong. He decided it was just general strain from runing about and playing with...

That was a quick reply, Scrapper's mum ! Actually, it's Madame Egghead !!!!;)

Hello everyone ! I've often logged on to this board in the 2 years I've had my first boxer, Conker, and finally decided to join ! He's got a fair few health problems so I'll be asking questions very soon. Speak to you soon.
