I'm so sorry... Hi, I sure hope Woody gets to feeling better. Our first boxer (Barkley) had seizures. They didn't last as long as what Woody's did, but they became more frequent. He eventually passed on within 8 months time from a brain tumor. However, he had other health problems also, so...

Benadryl Benadryl will sometimes work for allergies. Give one or two caplets depending on size. 50 mg for 50#. It will probably either make him hyper or sleepy. Our first boxer had very severe allergies. We did the testing and the shots but unfortunately for Barkley they didn't work. If...

Sun Burn spray helps too Our first boxer had allergies and when he got really bad and nothing else would work we used a spray for sun burn. Watch so he doesn't lick too much. It numbs the area and can give some quick relief. Barkley had really thick skin from all the scratching on his front...

Name of medication to try OK, so I wasn't even close on the name of the prescription they gave Thumper. It is Metronidazole 250 mg. they also gave her some prednisone for a while. Like I said she has been great since the middle of April. Hope this helps and good luck!!! NO medication since...

Thumper had the same thing One of my dogs had really thin, runny bloody diahhrea (sp) they finally treated her for giardia and she cleared up in a matter of days. She also couldn't go through the night without having to be let out 3-4 times. She'd had the runs off & on since she was a puppy...

Just last night Jazz must have gotten stung by something. She was outside and the mosquitoes were biting but after coming in the house she rubbed her face on the crate and sent it into the wall, when I looked at her face it was HUGE. Her face was so swollen she had no eyes. She looked like a...

Been there, done that Hi, the first boxer we had (Barkley) had severe allergies. We had him tested and he was allergic to a LOT of inhalent allergies, grass, molds, dust, aspen trees mostly things found in Colorado, we live in SW Nebraska so thought the Aspen trees were kinda strange. I thnk...

My butts getting bigger just thinkging about eating this!!!

Well that just sucks..... One of my daughters, friends mother (clear as mud) has the same thing and Dani is fine some days and down for a long time others. It must be so frustrating and painful. Whop your husband up-side the head and tell him that's how it feels only you'd feel it longer...

So sorry Joe123 We lost our first boxer in September of 2002. Barkley died from a brain tumor. It was one of the saddest days. They are a part of your family. Give your parents some time they may change their minds. I will admit there are times when I think "oh it would be so much easier...

Same thing only different??? when is a nose too long? Ok, I have 2 fawn females, they are purebred AKC Boxers, however, their noses seem long to me. Just poor genetics or any other ideas? I love them none the less, but Thumper's nose seems long. I will try and post a pic sometime soon so...

Yeah, the one I tried was the shock collar. I didn't see the citronella collars. Yesterdaay Thumper did so well. Maybe it was the "talk" we had. Or I was just in a panic over the neighbor. I will find a collar and try that. Do you think she is too old? She's not an idiot just stubborn.

I need help with a barking dog... Last night I also got my first complaint from a neighbor. Aside from the fact he's stoned out of his mind 98% of the time I'm surprised he noticed. I apologized and am deligently trying to get Thumper to stop. I have 2 boxers, both females a little over 1...

We also had our first boxer on allergy shots. No improvement over a 2 year period. He was allergic to everything you mentioned and then some. We tried different food. They finally put Bark on prednisone and he was on a lot of Benedryl. I just seemed to hit him out of the blue one day he was...

My heart goes out to you. We lost our first boxer, Barkley in September 2002. It is still hard. I read your post and started to cry. It is so difficult to lose a dog, they are a part of your family. It will become easier and the memories are very special. Bark was also sick and he passed...
