I am crying for you and Rock. You see I lost my best friend, Max, last year. He passed on Dec. 23. He was 10 years old also. I know what you are feeling because it has been a long, long year without him and I miss him more than ever. My love and sympathy goes out to you. I hope your...

You did the right thing, my Toby had one of his dew claws grow back (I guess they didn't remove it correctly the first time) and all he had was a big nail growing out of his leg. I had it removed when I had him neutered and he was almost 1 year old and he did fine. It didn't look like it...

I use Frontline on Toby. I have never used Advantage. The only thing I notice with the Frontline is right after I apply it he runs a little crazier than usual. It may burn a little but it works! I live in an area with ticks and so far I have never seen any on him or my last boxer and the...

My last boxer used to get lumps on his ears and it was from him shaking his head or flapping his ears. The vet said that if they flap them hard enough they will pop blood vessels and that causes the lump. The only thing about his lumps is that they were bigger than a pimple, they were almost...

I didn't neuter my last boxer (Max) and he had medical problems. He had an enlarged prostate which led to him rupturing himself trying to go to the bathroom. He had to get female hormone shots about every 3 months and had to have mineral oil in his food daily. He passed away last December 23...

My Toby came with the terrible two's at nine weeks old!! He is now 1 (Nov. 5 was his birthday). He has soooo much energy that he makes me tired just watching him. He is very mischievous too. He gets into everything! But ya gotta love em. Good Luck!birthdayic

My daughter just called and told me that my boxer puppy (11 months old) growled and bit her. She was trying to put him in his pen that he stays in when we are not at home and he ran and hid. She tried to get him out and that's when he growled and bit her two times. I have never had a dog that...

Hi, my Max had a heart murmor as a puppy and never out grew it. The vet just kept an eye on him and it never got worse. When Max died in December it was his kidneys but probably caused by his heart (the vet did not say anything about the murmor). He was also 10 1/2 years old and had other...

reply to Chewy's Mom Dear Chewy's Mom, He is not neutered yet. I am considering it but really wanted one of his puppies because he is marked so pretty. I don't think that the neighbor has tormented him, because he doesn't go outside that often (just to potty or for a walk). I was told by...

My boxer is 11 months old and is very agressive or lets say over protective. We went to obedience classes and used treats and "good boys" for good behavior. He learned very fast but he is now almost out of control when he sees people outside our house. This morning my neighbor was in his...
