Thanks for the tips! I have been extra diligent about following her around and letting her know what she can and can't chew/destroy. She has too many toys to even count. She chews on them quite a bit, but when she gets tired of those anything she can reach is in danger. I'm thinking about...

I want to add something about playing. She goes from cute, fun play to aggressive really quick. She starts growling and barking and you can't get her to snap out of it. If you try to walk away and ignore her shell follow you, nipping at your ankles to get attention. She acts like our hands are...

I have a female that just turned 1 this month. She has lots of energy. We walk her several times a day, exercise her, play with her, etc. It seems like we can never tire her out. I can't even give her stuffed toys anymore as she shreds them in about 5 seconds and I'm afraid she'll eat the...

I haven't heard that you shouldn't run them until 18 months old. I chose the vet I use because he has boxers and is extremely knowledgable about their issues. I told him she runs and he said that it was good for her. I don't push her pace and we run on flat grassy land and sometimes the sidewalk...

Oh, no :(. That's awful. Sorry to hear that. I not to let Nina surpass her limitations, but as you know, boxers have lots of energy to burn. I will definitely be more careful with her on runs now. Hope yours feels better soon!

Limp My boxer just turned 1 last week. She too runs at 100 mph. We take her for jogs and bike rides to tire her out. We also go to the dog beach every week. If she's had a lot of exercise she will limp on her back right leg for a few days. We massage it, make her rest (hahaha), and don't run...

Took Nina to the vet yesterday and confirmed she had kennel cough. Vet have her antibiotics for 10 days and a cough suppressant for a few days. We both finally got some sleep last night :) She's not allowed to play with our neighbors boxer until Monday to make sure he doesn't get sick. I think...

My female was 8 months old when we adopted her from SPCA, and they fixed her. She was groggy and sleepy for about 1.5 days. After that, it was like nothing had ever happened. We had to settle her down all the time and crate her at night to keep her from hurting herself. Her incision looked...

To the vet we go at 3:50 today :(. She sounds like shes struggling to breathe, especially when she's laying down, which is all she wants to do. Poor baby is as sleep deprived as I am today.

Thank you!! From everything I've read online, I'm pretty sure she has it. It's now 6:30. I went to bed at 12, and got maybe 3 hours of sleep off and on. She sounds so terrible. Every time she starts a coughing spell it wakes me up, and she wants to be loved on. The last time I spoke to the...

It's 4:30am here in Florida. I've hardly slept a wink. Poor Nina has been coughing, retching, and gagging all night. We boarded her over this last weekend as we had to make a short notice trip. The place came highly recommended and did verify she had vaccinations. She was vaccinated for it in...

Plant I am also in FL and curious about the bug issue. Nina did get into an elephant ear bush and chew up a stalk once. Turns out, they're poisonous to dogs. She threw up and foamed. I called my vet, and he advised flushing her mouth for 5 minutes with a hose. Needless to say, that was...

Anyone in volusia/Seminole area on here? We frequent the dog parks around here but rarely find boxers to play with. If you're interested, let us know!

Thanks Once I figure out the picture thing I will put one up. :))
