Mac is sure a cutie like all puppies applauseicon - but my love is with Roge loveicon; he is so adorable! I hope you don't mind, Helen - I downloaded his pic where he watched you through the window cleaning the kitchen floor (if memory serves me right) and show him around :shameful:. He's got...

I'm so very sorry for your loss and wish that words could take away some of your pain sadicon. It is the hardest decision to make but I'm sure he loves you even more for having spared him more agony. RIP little man and sure you'll wait at the rainbow bridge. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Yes - it did! Thanks Helen :)

Thanks Lisa - sounds like a good idea too. A friend of mine is looking into how to get the re-usable ones here which were recommended by Jan. I'll add the Huggies little swimmers to my list - hope she can find them. The problem is that he's not just dribbling all over the house - he makes...

Jan!!!! I would hug you if you were here :shameful:!! Silly me - I didn't even think of checking this option out as it's never guaranteed that it will arrive here, hence, overseas online shopping is not really on. But yes!! We do have plenty of friends who'd be willing to bring some of those...

Thanks Helen - passed it on; he sends back lots of loveicon!! Yes, we're very thankful that we can enjoy his company for so long and without problems. Reading here on BW I'm aware of how blessed we are with Buddy.

Helen - good that it made you laugh applauseicon - it really looks funny when he comes, makes a U-turn and sticks it in our face!! Smarty that he is he knows how things work now. He's now 11 and a half and we were lucky that he never really had any health issues in all these years. So it takes a...

Thanks a lot for the replies :) - much appreciated. It's a bit difficult here in Egypt ... We've seen two more vets (not of much use) as our regular one came back a few weeks ago from Illinois Uni where he updated his knowledge. I'm also in contact with a vet in Switzerland (my home country) and...

On May 17th I posted about Buddy’s liver cirrhosis and other age related ailments (https://boxerworld.com/forums/threads/liver-cirrhosis.171523/#post-1419452) which we have now relatively well under control. There’s one problem though which persists: our little boy is incontinent now and the...

Thank you for your encouragement :-) - that's very kind. We're really happy and relieved as he makes everyday a little bit progress. He's on an antibiotics IV course for 2 weeks and gets every 5th day a liver support injection. He's much more alert, eats normal again and even runs in the garden...

Thanks for your tip, Helen - much appreciated. We've got a balanced diet-plan from our old vet back in Switzerland in order not to have to take Buddy off his usual home-cooking. Still he gets the hepatic kibbles mixed-in - although he had to be initially hand-fed to get him started to eat. We're...

Having been a silent reader for many years - as our little rascal didn't have or give us any problems - I'm turning to you for help as Buddy has fallen very ill. He's been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis mid last year, an enlarged spleen and prostate and a dormant tumor next to the prostate. It...

"Guidance" perhaps? Just fell upon your posting. Although I don't have the answer to your question I just wanted to let you know that Buddy does the same. That is - when it's walking time in the morning he goes to the door where the leashes hang and rattles them as if to tell me: "Hey! It's...

U-turns I know how this feels - my Bud-Bud used to pull almost my arm out! Until a (Fichtlmeier trained) dog trainer crossed our path. She told me to make basically a u-turn everytime he pulls in one direction even if it means at the beginning to literally pull him back while telling him "come...

Just a question out of curiosity and maybe some of you experience the same. We often have power cuts and it never fails - during day time and at night: a few moments before the power goes off Buddy gets very nervous, sneeks under my husband's desk and hides there. As a puppy he used to...
