Had her spayed, but God I wish I hadn't ... Well, I followed just about everyone's advice. She was getting better, but we kept monitoring her levels on a regular basis. In December, they started rising again, after being 100% normal by the end of November. My vet also thought the best thing...

Never meant to I never meant to discuss breeding. It all started from asking advice on what the vet had said, as you can check. Suddenly, it seemed I has some kind of cruel, evil and greedy man that wanted to live at the expense of her offspring, regardless of anything else. Whatever...

Never I've gotten my older girl to prevent her from going to the shelter, since her owner could no longer keep her. I don't believe a dog is something you can discard if they don't turn out exactly the way you want and, as long as I can help it, I will never abandon any of mine. Even...

I am sorry for your loss Since I've been around dogs all my life, I've lost a few, but it's something we just don't get used to. I imagine you had a hard time. This time, fortunatelly, it seems my girl pulled through, but we are always on the lookout.

Yes, she is She has been doing blood tests for every 2 to 3 weeks and her levels are fully normal, now. She is also back to being a very active dog, she's eating well, drinking normally and behaving normally, for a boxer. Thank's for your support.

WOW, you got me all wrong I would never risk any of my dogs intentionally, let alone for a whimp, or to satisfy my wishes. Ever since she was a small puppy that I discussed breeding her once, after she was fully matured (to avoid complications that could arise from pregnancy while in growth...

Nothing of the sort As I have said in other answers, I will only breed her if I'm sure there is no medical condition (i.e., if we can be sure this was a one time situation). She has been thoroughly tested and no kidney malformation or problem has shown up, nor any other medical condition...

No, I don't First and foremost, I want her well-being. If she has any medical problem, of course I will not allow her to get pregnant and, if medically safe, she will be spayed. However, the fact is that ultra-sound exams and all the tests she has undertaken have shown no physical damage...

I would not risk my girl I would not risk her life. I would very much like to have a litter from her, but not at all if it carries any risk for her. The problem is that, as you may well know, the risks fo surgery are, also, considerable, should there really be kidney problems. However...

She seems to be recovering Got her to the vet today. She had new blood tests done and her BUN level is down to 32mg/dl (from 102 when she came home) and her CREA level is down to 3.3mg/dl (from 8.4 when she came home). She has not had vomits for the last week and is back eating normally...

The sleeping puppy

An update She has been eating, little, but something. She has also been urinating a lot, and hsa had no vomits for the last 12 hours or so. She was in a very good mood this afternoon, went for a stroll with us and our other dog, played around and went for a ride, also. She ended up...

Went back to the vet and asked him about it. It turns out he had already checked for this and had ruled this out. Thanks, anyway.
