    lymphoma-nearing the end

    As I am still trying to get over Rocky, in a way I know your pain. I am so sorry you had to make this decision. I know they are in a better place now and not hurting and are happy and playing like they used to. Wish I could do more than just say I'm sorry. I wish you all the best in this...

    Renal failure

    It's times like this when we find out how tough our little ones are. I know I would have never been able to go through what Rocky did for as long as he did. Hoping your Diva pulls through again. Sending all the healing vibes I can for you both

    Feel so Helpless

    I was wondering how he was doing, I'm sorry that he is having such a rough time and also you as well. Wish I could more than to say how sorry I am but I will still keep your little one in my thoughts.

    Throwing up bile

    Well Boxers have a very irritable tummy on them for some reason. When they throw up the bile, obviously its because there is no food left in the stomach to come up. From what I have seen in the past, their stomachs get upset for whatever reason and they get nauseated and throw up. With our...

    lymphoma-nearing the end

    As others have said, she will tell you when it is time. Rocky had a good size mass on his liver and we believe it was cancer but never sure. That last day, he was walking very slowly and it was obvious he was worn down. As with your Zoe, he was giving everything he had but he was just...

    Recently adopted boxer having LOTS of health issues

    Rocky has the same issue with the swallowing and the gulping. I agree with what Cami said in that sounds like nausea. When Rock got into that we gave him the medicine for upset stomachs and for blocking the acids in his stomach. Boxers always seem to be touchy with the stomach issue. They...

    Need some advice on my 12 year boxer

    I am sorry to hear your girl is having such a hard time. When I first came on these board to look for help, one of the first things I read has stuck with me and I think it proved to be true. When it's time for them to go, they will tell you. With what you said, it sounds like she is not...

    Nico ate a chicken carcass yesterday

    Once Rocky got hold of some spare rib bones. needless to say before I could even attempt to get them from him, he had them swallowed. We called the vet and they said really all we could do was just watch him and look for any weird signals that something was wrong. I would think all you...

    Desperate for advice

    I too am sorry to hear about what you are going through. Even more so because what you are describing sounds exactly like what Rocky was going through. There were never any parasites found but he had a big mass around his liver plus he came down with a case of meningitis. Everything you...

    Bone Cancer in my almost 11 yr old Boy

    I wish I could do more for you than to say Im so sorry. Its been a little over two weeks since I had to send my Rocky to the bridge and Im no closer getting over it now than I was then. I would definitely let her see her brother after he is gone but like the others, I would talk to the vet...

    Wondering about a lump on my girl's leg

    Boxers are very prone to getting lumps, everyone of our Boxers has always had so many of them. I guess that ties in with Boxers being so prone to cancer and all. With all the lumps we have have encountered, none have ever been bad and for the most part, our vet didnt bother doing anything with...

    Aortic Stenosis, I need advice

    My heart goes out to you in this. It will be a week ago tomorrow that I had to make this call with Rocky. Its so hard having to let them go, Im still doubting that I made the right call even though everyone else is saying I did. I would have a talk with your vet as Cami suggested. Talk to...

    limping

    Rocky was always bouncing around and jumping off the beds. Once we were outside with him and he was running around like he always used to. When we were ready to go in, he was sitting on the porch and he was holding his left front paw up in the air, wouldnt put weight on it at all. We took him...
