So so sorry for your loss. We lost our Winston in May also and miss him still everyday. We will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

I had Milo spayed at 6 months as well, and after reading this information realize I probably should have waited at least a few more months. Seems like 9-11 months seems to be the general concensus.

So sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

Hi, sorry for the late response - I haven't been on in a while. We actually had just received a note from our vet in the mail that he was due for his vaccines and had gotten his heartworm medicine a couple of weeks before so no, I don't think it was due to that. I have heard though, that they...

Wow Caney - I wish I had read this advice prior to getting Milo! We got Winston at age 5 & he was already trained so when Milo arrived it was all new (and a little crazy)! Great advice!!!

More Tests Just got the call from the specialist. She did a full workup on him and he didn't seem to be in any pain in his abdomen although she is not completely ruling out something in his stomach. She said she was definitely more concerned with the fact that he seemed to be in quite a bit...

Sorry So sorry to hear about your loss. We are going through the same thing with our other dogs after losing our Winston 2 weeks ago. Just know that you did the right thing for her...and maybe she is frolicking somewhere on the beach right now, with no pain or illness to stop her! Take...

Milo Milo is 14 mos old and is 73lbs.

So my 1 yr old boy, Milo has been to the vet several times in his short 1 year...and it seems like all the same issue... The first time, about 7 months ago, he spiked a fever of 105 and started to somewhat convulse (shaking & lethargic). He was 7 months old at the time. We rushed him to the...

Hello! Wanted to say "THANK YOU" for your service and welcome to BW!

I don't know how many times I have read through these posts under the Rainbow Bridge topic and just cried at how sad the stories were of heartbreak over the loss of a boxer. I hate that I have to post my own story now. As a child, I always wanted a dog but my mom was allergic so it was...

Hello everyone! I am very excited to join the community of boxer owners/lovers! The first dog that I ever owned was a boxer that I "adopted" about 8 years ago (Winston) and I have been in love with the breed ever since. Sadly, Winston passed just 2 weeks ago and it has definitely taken a toll...
