Whenever your pup has a severe allergic reaction like the one Duke had, you should immediately take him to the vet. Especially if the dog is young and you don't know the cause. If they are swelling on the outside that means they can also be swelling on the inside and can go into anaphylactic...

Is it a pug conspiracy? I must've voted 100 times today and the Boxer still dropped from 55% to 54%!! What's up with that? I'll keep voting!

The aspiration of the lymph node nearest to the mast cell tumor that Rocky had removed two weeks ago came back unclear. My vet said that it couldn't be confirmed that it was positive for cancer cells, but at the same time it couldn't be confirmed that it was clear of cancer cells either...

Thanks to kassa and magsp. Your experience and input is really helping me to make a more informed decision. Reading everyone's stories and experiences makes me feel better about the diagnosis. It's not as uncommon as I thought. Has anyone had experience with chemo for mast cell tumors? My...

Thanks so much for all the good vibes and well wishes. It means so much to have everyone's support. I haven't heard anything yet about the aspirations on his lymph nodes. I will post the info as soon as I get it. Carrie- Thank you so much for your info. Knowing that your baby has lived...

I am going through something very similar with Rocky (male 4 yr. old) right now. I just had two lumps removed that came back grade 2 massed cell tumors. We are considering several options at this point. Ask your vet if it was a clean removal or if they need to remove more tissue and where you...

I received the results from the two lumps that were removed from Rocky a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, it was not good news. They were both grade 2 massed cell tumors. The vet said that the one on his shoulder had been removed cleanly, but the one on his toe had not. There just isn't...

This picture was taken last Halloween. This is as close to a Boxer costume as DH will let me get.

Hi Karen! Glad to hear the good news about Jake! I have had skin tags removed from Zeus previously and the results have come back within a couple of days. I think it may just depend on how busy and how far away the lab is. Sometimes it takes over a week. I think they may just say 7-10 days...

I don't know how many of you read magazines, but I was sitting in the doctor's office this morning and I came across a really touching article in Ladies Home Journal (Oct. 2004). It was a story about a woman and her famale Boxer named Bella. Bella collasped one day in the park while they were...

He's doing great! Rocky is recovering well after his minor surgery. Thanks so much for all the love and well wishes. One of his incisions bled a little last night, but DH and I took turns putting pressure on it for about a half hour and it was fine. This morning he ate well and was pretty...

Thanks Karen (and everybody else) for all the well wishes. Rocky was very upset this morning when we fed Zeus and not him. Eating is Rocky's very favorite part of the day! Zeus was also upset because he saw DH put on Rocky's leash and not his. That meant that Rocky was getting to "GO" and he...

Rocky, Zeus and I send love, hugs, kisses, prayers and healing vibes. I'm sure your furbaby will come through like a champ! Rocky is having a minor surgery today and I'm already fighting the urge to call and check on him. Here come the vibes...
