Hey Everynone, About 9 months ago my 5 year old female partially tore her back right ACL. I looked into getting it fixed; but the vets told me to wait to see if it heals. Up until a month or so ago, she seemed fine. But now that it is getting colder, she holds her leg up again. Does...

Currently I feed my boxers Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul. Which is a pretty good food IMHO. But, it really makes my kids gassy. I asked the owner of the shop where I buy the food what I can do about it. She told me that Chicken Soup is a food that is steam cooked and that the process...

No Corn My Oskar had horrible gas too. I used to always make sure he didn't leave a pile somewhere it was so bad. I talked to the Blue Buffalo rep and they said he was getting corn from the Purina Pro Plan I was blending with. So now he is eating Blue Buffalo and Chicken Soup for the Soul...

My 10 month old is in heat right now - but she has been bleeding for almost 3 weeks. Do some bleed longer than others or should I take her to the vet?

My roommate has a female 10 month old boxer in her first heat (my roommate waited too long to get her spayed; gggrrrrrrr) and I have an 8 month old FIXED male. Is it OK to have them together or will aggression become a problem even though he can't actually get her pregnant? Also, how long does...

Yeah - I finally figured out that giving my Bella ice water is what was making her vomit all the time. I thought I was being nice and considerate; WRONG!!! :)

I have read several posts on BW about Bloat but nothing has really satisfied my need to know what might be my girl Bella's problem. Bella is an 8 month old fawn boxer. I also have a 6 month old brindle boxedor. They both free-eat and overall seem to do well with it. However, once or twice a...

Hey Everybody, I am going to start taking Bella and Oskar (BO) on mountain walks/hikes. I will be getting them some ruffwear shoes so their paws don't get cut up. Bella is 8 months and Oskar is 6 months old. Oskar is a boxedor (sp?) and still has pretty big paws. Right now he fits fine in...

Hey Everybody, just a quick question, It has been raining like crazy in Denver these past couple of months which has brought out a ton of mosquitos (not a typical problem in Denver). So I've noticed my fawn boxer Bella with a lot of mosquito bites on her back. Can I use Off or Repel on her...

Hey everybody!! I just picked up this Boxer (mix) named Oskar last week. He is fricken sweet with awesome an brindle color. Check out his photo and tell me if you think he is mixed with something else or he just hasn't grown into his boxeryness yet. Thanks!!! Oskar on Flickr - Photo...
