    Cropped ears are more healthy??

    That cracks me up. They always say that about circumcision also....:-) I think the ear cropping is awful(just my opinion) I love to watch Ethel's ears flop or go flat when she is interested in something. We call it the "flying nun"look. I'm not being sacrilegious, there was a program with Sally...

    Vomitting Boxer

    About the vomiting thing. I have a couple of suggestions. My dog Ethel had the same thing. She is 6 years old. I found two things to stop the vomiting almost entirely. I feed her IAMS dry food 1/2 cup in the morning with 1/2 can of IAMS senior food mixed in. I don't put water down for 1/2 hour...

    Tissue overgrowth?

    Hi, Thanks everyone for your prayers for our Ethel. She has recovered almost completely from all her biopsies. The other tumor was cancer also. We aren't going to do treatments. She is happy and healthy. I was wondering, though, the biopsy of the jowls inside? It was benign but the doctor...

    Small bumps/lumps

    Ethel gets those when the temperature is hotter than usual. One of the vets we had, while traveling through the desert and she got them ,said to give her 1/2 of a benadryl tablet. I'ld ask your vet. I didn't feel comfortable about the pill while on vacation so I walked Ethel into a campsite...

    Ethel has cancer

    I just found out that my six year old Ethel has cancer. She is a dark brindle with white on her chin, chest and paws. Its so weird because I just found this site on the 26th and on the 27th the vet called with the biopsy results. She had 6 lumps total removed. 1 in her mouth (benign), 2 on her...

    Does your boxer wipe their face.....

    My Ethel wiped her face all the time. I first put a sheet on the couch so she wouldn't put yuck all over. However, now I have a washcloth on the shelf where I keep her bowl and I watch her while she eats and then take a warm wash cloth and wipe her face and dry it with her towel. She loves the...
