Thank you everyone for the responses! She seemed very itchy the first go around, had to stay up with her all night to keep her from itching (even with benedryl). This second go around she does not seem to be itchy. In both cases she has been pretty warm/hot though, especially on the red...

Bella is my 4 year old fawn female boxer. Last Thursday, she came in from outside swollen up to the point where her eyelids were swollen shut. She was taken to the vet and given a steroid injection and sent home with steroid pills. The shot worked, but now she has developed hives and red...

Update: I took Bella to the vet yesterday and it turns out that (during playtime I'm assuming) she hit that part of her head above the eye pretty hard and it caused some bruising, swelling, and inflammation. Her eye was not scratched or damaged and I am giving her some eye drops twice a day...

I seemed to have tought my 5 month old boxer Bella quite an interesting trick. I play guitar in a rock band and she has gotten used to all the noise apparently...because ever since I tought her how to speak on command...she sings along howling whenever I get her excited and play the guitar...

Thanks for the advice...i will try these out and see if it helps. Thanks! Rob

Hello I have an 11 week old boxer right now and I can't figure out why she is doing this. When I put food in her bowl, half of the time she will eat it right up, but the other half of the time she will go up to it, kinda pounce back and fourth at the bowl and shake her head a it. At first I...
