We adopted him from one of the local Boxer rescue programs. We were just a bit surprised to see Boxer "mixed" in the paperwork. This is probably more info than you want, but we chose a rescue this time because we have a 3 year old son and another baby on the way. We thought that a puppy...

We adopted a 2 year old boy boxer yesterday thinking he was 100% Boxer but then we recieved additional paperwork stating him as a mix. Of course we wern't expecting a pedigree but I don't see any signs that he is a mix of anything. He may not be quite the breed standard, but I think he is all...

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Sharing this certainly eases the pain some. Y'all are awesome!

Rest in peace Heidi! My family knows you pain as well as we lost our Zeus yesterday as well. Hopefully they have made friends and are playing happily! Our broken hearts and tears will turn to fond memories and laughter with time.

Our poor Zeus had to be euthanized yesterday at the age of young age of 6 and we are just stunned and heartbroken. Around 8pm on Jan 2nd we noticed that Zeus had gone missing for about 30 minutes. I called for him but he did not come. To me this was not uncommon and usually this meant he...

Mya, my 3 year old female loves to hunt. Usually she is limited to whatever critter finds its way into the yard. She has 2 squirells, 2 small birds, and a 4ft water snake in her trophy collection thus far. The snake was by far the scariest, but she was MUCH faster than the snake. Before I...

We have a 2 year old female already and just got a male puppy this past Friday. He is just now 8 weeks old. They have played together some, but not much so far. Mya, my female, just stands over him all the time. She refuses to lay next to him, and most of the time just ignores him. He wants...

How much did the Corneal De-bridement cost?? I think that may be what has to be done. I have only put what the prescribed drops in her eye

Yep, Mya has a corneal ulcer. We have been to 3 vets and she has been in an E-collar for almost a week and it doesn't seen to be getting better. I read somewhere that a Vitamen E solution works well, but it did not specify as to what brand. Does anyone have any suggestions????

Last night we took Mya to play with her boyfriend Cassius. They played outside for almost 4 hours before we went home. This morning she seemed fine except for being tired, but when I got home from work this evening she was limping around and holding her left front foot in the air. Upon...

I have started a new job after being unemployed since I graduated from college back in May. I am sad that I have to leave my boxer at home for such a long time especially becuase she is not used to it. What can I do to make it better for her to adjust?

Just voted and it said the boxer is the winner!!! It will be added in the 2005 line up

they called the vet today, and she wasn't in. We should have the results in the morning. Cassisus is acting better tonight, but still not himself. He ate about 1.5 cups of food today, but that doesn't compare to his normal 4 cups a day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We will...

One thing I forgot to mention was that the vet did prescribe him an antibotic, about to weeks worth, and said that they would monitor his weight. Does anyone know if Cassius could be given peptobizmol (excuse my spelling) to settle his stomach until we find out more about what is going on?

Our friends male boxer (Cassius) has diarrhea, it was noticed friday afternoon. He had his 12 month check up and shots Friday afternoon, and since then has been sick. They took him to the vet, and he has lost 5 pounds in 4 days. He had accidents in his kennel last night, and accidents in the...
