Hello everyone - we are finally back again. Living in the interior of Alaska means we get dial-up at speeds slower than anything we've had before. It can make getting on-line a frustrating experience! But, we are glad to be back discussing the wonders of our amazing babies!

update Hi all...I just wanted to update you on Tyson's cellulitis. We ended up going back to the vet on Monday because he had gotten worse. They put him on a new medication (Clavamox) and the results were amazing. Within 24 hours the swelling had reduced significantly and his primary sore...

Did you have any Boxers when you lived in Fairbanks? I am very interested to see how these two will handle the winter? We are about 100 miles south of Fairbanks and of course we do all our shopping there.

thanks for all the welcomes...it's going to be very interesting to see how they handle the winter...Grace HATES booties (when it gets cold enough she'll have to wear them) and doesn't care a whole lot for snow. I wish they had an indoor dog park so they could romp and play!

I learned an interesting fact from my Grandmother who is legally blind and extremely active in the blind community. Did you know that Boxers are the BEST suited breed for a seeing eye dog? The only reason that Retrivers and Shepards are used instead is because too many people were scared and...

I called the emergency vet back because the swelling has gotten worse, but at least now he is drinking water and taking treats (a far cry from earlier). They had me give him an extra dose of rimadyl and I'm going to cold pack in between the hot packs. We're going to continue to monitor him...

thank you...the poor boy has us VERY worried. I've been doing some research and I'm very worried about an abcess forming. I still haven't slept - all last night I was up monitoring him before we decided we needed to make the trip to the vet. I miss my old house - the emergency vet was 20...

Our first sleepover and the couch was ours!

Grace at her best.

Does anyone have any experience w/ Cellulitis? My Tyson was bit by a Golden Retriver on the cheek and became extremely swollen. We ended up at the emergency vet and found out that the swelling was due to Cellulitis. We were given antibiotics and rimadyl and I was told to hot pack and see a...

Hi - We've been a member for awhile, but forgot to introduce ourselves. We recently moved to Interior Alaska and have 2 beautiful boxers. Grace is a flashy brindle and is 1.5 yrs old - she's our baby and certainly likes to act it! We've had her since she was 8 weeks and we've thoroughly...

thank you Thank you for the advice on the introduction - the rules state that new members should introduce themselves, not that it's a requirement. I guess I was a bit confused with the verbiage, please excuse me for being impolite. As for the food...I'm still a little unsure with our...

Interesting Hi All - I find this entire thread very interesting....we had our little lady (Grace) on nutro ultra puppy, but when she was 8mths we had problems w/ diarrhea so we switched her to Nutro Sensitive Stomach. Now that she's over a year and we are moving to Alaska, we got her a...
