Jack is fed 3 times a day. Between 5-30 and 6:00 every morning he wakes up acting crazy. We let him out and he still isn't normal. He is great after we get out of bed and feed him. WE are trying not to get him used to eating at this time. Should i feed him more during the day. Later at night...

My Bubba hasn't been gone for a week. I miss him so incredibly much. He was just a puppy at 5 months old when he decided he couldn't fight anymore. It was for the better. He was in so much pain dealing with the HOD, and it wasn't fair. He hardly got to be a puppy, but when he did feel good he...

I have a question about breeders. We got Bubba at the end of Feb. A month and a half later Bubba was diagnosed with HOD. HOD is not that common in boxers. Bubba died from complications last Wednesday night. I was just wondering if the breeder should be responsible at all. He is a respected...

my dog was just diagnosed with HOD. I was just wondering how long it took your dog to get over it? Bubba is doing much better and it has been a week, but he has been at the vet all week. HOpefully we are almost over this thing. Kristin

From what i know HOD is a very painful bone problem. It is not common in boxers. This diet will have to stick with him until he is done growing. His body is producing to much calcium from what the vet said, so we have to keep out any extra that we can. There is lots of info on HOD on this site...

My little man, bubba, was just diagnosed with HOD. We are supposed to put him on a very low calcuim diet. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good low calcium diet. Bubba has a very very bad case of HOD. He has been at the vet all week, and hopefully we will get to bring him home this weekend...

I am just making sure i can get as much info on everything so when i do find out what it is i know what to do. i read that info you sent me before and after reading it i think all it is is pano. he has all the symptoms. he is going to the vet tom, again, and the first time he was there for...

Bubba has all the symptoms for a slipped disc. His back legs don't work, and he whines when i touch him or his back gets twisted. Are there special "Pet" chiropractors, and if so how do i go about finding one? I thought i was just joking when i told my boyfriend that is what i thought bubba...

also He is sleeping all of the time, and since i posted the last one, this afternoon he won't walk at all. we have to pick him up and carry him outside. It breaks my heart seeing him like this. I am definitly taking him back to the vet in the morning.

bubba has been acting very strange the past couple of days. he acts like his back legs just don't want to work. i took him to the vet and he couldn't find anything wrong. they did xrays and nothing showed up. sometimes when you touch him he whines and other times he is fine. he will be four...

Does anyone elses puppy eat grass while they are outside? Bubba also looks for rocks to carry around in his mouth. Are both of these things normal? Just wondering. KRistin and bubba

Bubba is 6 1/2 weeks old. I know that he still is real little and the whole potty training issue is confusing. He has the part about "peeing" outside undercontrol. He understands the words for that. WE spend about 30 minutes outside with him after he pees and then he comes in the house and then...

my pup is only 6 1/2 weeks old. His eyes and nose are always running. i was just wondering if that was normal. this is my first boxer and i love him to death. Thank god for this place or i wouldn't know what to expect kristin and bubba

greetings. my puppy is 6 weeks old now. I was wondering at what age do they start playing with their toys or get interested in playing. we play for a few minutes and then all of a sudden it is nap time. The potty training thing is working. only a few accidents and that is because we are slowly...
