Our first boxer Buster who lived to 13 years was such a stoic, majestic, intense, playful and stubborn dog with a total super personality, this dog was why we love the breed so much. We had him from 86 to around 99. We then got Pancho who was a totally great but different personality with very...

Well very interesting I did not know there was a study about early neutering and I would like to see the actual study if anyone has it. I just really believe if you are not going to be a breeder it is the healthiest and best thing for males and females. The dog that I had spayed at 4-5 months...

I've never seen an article that was accurate about problems with neutering. All I've ever heard was speculation. Never heard of bone problems or thyroid problems??

To Zoe Boxer About Catalina, just one question. Through all of your posts, you've mentioned the yogurt, is there any chance that could be part of the problem. I don't know I just wondered?? Do you give her the same amount everyday or different amounts?? I don't know anything about the...

Nice photos. I like the ones with the dogs the best. I like the dogs facing forward the most. The third photo I think and one of the ones by the pond with the dogs facing forward are my favorites.. The ones with the trees have more color..

Just wondering if anyone has had a boxer with this condition and how well their dog does/has done on medication?? Since we have started all his meds he is doing much better. The medication the veterinarian prescribed is Pimobendan or Vetmedin from Canada along with the Lasix and Enalapril...

I would say the favorite of all time are the Freeze Dried Liver treats. One of my cats comes out too with those. Those are the best...

They never ruled out the ARVC, they just never mentioned it, if the Holter monitor is the only way to find it that's probably why it hasn't been mentioned, because we did not do that. I don't think I can afford the Holter monitor either because I understand the cost is quite high. We are...

They did the echocardiogram and an EKG and an X-ray... They also did a blood test and listen to his heart..

Well I don't know the technical part and the vet did not mention ARVC. The only thing they did say was his heart was not contracting properly and that was what was going on. Would that make a difference in the medication or otherwise? How do they tell the difference anyway from DCM or the...

Okay, the diagnosis is not really good but after a week on meds he is doing okay. The diagnosis is Dilated Cardiomyopathy, right sided congestive heart failure and he also has a ventricular arrhythmia. The only thing he is on so far is lasix and enalapril which do seem to be helping some...

Okay, Buster was checked out from head to toe and did not have any specific problems. My vet checked out his eyes, ears and his physical being with no answers. He did say that he does want me to follow up on his heart because even though there was nothing glaring he did have an extremely...

Thanks for the info and I hope they can figure it out. I will let everyone know what they think on Tuesday....

As far as I can tell his gums seem to appear okay and I did check them as we just lost our other boxer Pancho to hemagiosarcoma and that was one of the ways I could tell he was bleeding. I did think about the cardiac issues I just could figure out how it happened so quickly. If it is...

I have been walking my dogs, regularly for about 2 years or longer now and recently my white boxer has seemed to have some problems. He doesn't seem weak or hurt. The symptoms I know is he is lagging behind more than he used too and twice he got sick, once in the middle of the walk and once...
