zoeanddodd, Guinness would do 6+ pooh on walks, very loose/watery diarrheoa. He has never thrived, we have had him since 8 weeks and he looks like a skeleton. is your dog normal weight and size? what are the consistancy of his poohs? what food are you feeding him on? IBD is not that common, you...

hiya all, my boy Guinness had bowel biopsies taken for chronic diarrhoea and has been diagnosed with lymphocytic-plasmacytic enterocolitis. He is going to be started on steriods. Does anyone have any experience of this type of inflammatory bowel disease? any advice or info would be much...

my dogs used to poop 6+ times a day when fed kibble (even the better stuff). I recently switched to raw food and the difference has been amazing. They now go about 3 times all are small and solid.

thanks for that, i will continue what im feeding and start adding some red meat/offal. Will give him a chicken/liver dinner tomorrow and maybe some beef at the end of the week. im amazed how well he has took to the diet, i was expecting loose stools which have never happened (except this...

hi again, i managed to weigh Guinness, he is 23Kg. I dont need scales to know he is underweight, his spine and hips are visable. I think he has put a little weight on in the week we have been feeding him raw. A reason why i switched to raw was he had terrible diarrhoea/loose stools on every...

not sure exactly how much he weighs, think he is about 21/22Kg, 14 months old and 23 inches at the withers.

hi everyone, i have been feeding Guinness raw for one week. He gets fed about 2 prize choice chicken blocks (400g each) plus some chicken leg/thighs per day. Is this ok? Im worried that im not feeding enough as he is underweight. also whan can i add different meats/veggies? thanks

sydney, my angel, has never eaten anything. Guinness however more than makes up for her! When he was a puppy he ate rubber stoppers off his bed, wooden spoons, the handle of a knife(!) candels, soap, a pen, a plant plus soil, my kitchen floor (not all of it!) and countless toys. He also used...

Doubt the vet is ripping you off but i know sometimes it can feel that way! clamamox or augmentin as i know it, is a frequently used antibiotic for UTIs, skin infections etc. it will work for both problems.

hi folks, been to the vets with Sydney this morning, her leg is badly swollen and covered in open wounds. she probably has broken some toes, going for an x ray on monday. im so proud of her, she was so brave at the vets. She stood and let the vet clean her foot and bandage it. Sydney is...

thanks everyone,for your words of comfort. I think she will be alright, she's cuddling up on the sofa with me. They are so brave and stoic, she only let out a few wee yelps after the accident. And me, the nurse, was more upset than her! will keep you posted on her progress.

my poor baby girl was hit by a car tonight on our walk. She was playing on the grass and suddenly she just ran out onto the road in front of a car that was fortunately not going very fast. She is ok considering, her back paw is in a mess but nothing seems broken. will be going to vets first...

hi there, does any one have a boxer who suffers from malabsorption or pancreatic insuffiency? I own a 9 month boxer boy (Guinness) who has had problems with chronic diarrhoea. About a month ago it was really bad so the vet presribed sulfasalazine (anti-inflammatory tablets) and advised...

thanks for the welcome everyone. My little devil is only a baby so im kinda hoping with love and training he will be as good a dog as Sydney. That was the plan anyway but i think he is teaching her how to be naughty. the joys of having puppies!

Im new to boxerworld but already i have found a wealth of information. i am the proud owner of 2 boxers. My girl Sydney who is 3 years got me hooked on the breeder i have never looked back. Guinness is the newest member of my family he is 5 months and a little terror! He has so much engery...
