Thank you for you advice and good wishes. I sort of knew that what the Vet wanted and what is truely practical in "the real world" are two different things. HOWEVER, I certainy don't want Cooper reversing his surgery and needing to go back in again...not sure we could swing double the cost...

Cooper and Bear our Shop Guarddogs!

Cooper needs to have Surgery on his back knee (traditional method) and the Vet said he would need to be segregated from our other 3 dogs, taken outside on a leash to eliminate, no doggie doors, etc. for 6-8 weeks!!!! How on earth does someone do that? We bought a dog ramp to use with our...

Gooey.... Thank you both for your advice!!!!! Sloppy kisses accepted.

Our 7 yr old spayed female occasionally has stringy goop from her urinary tract. Any ideas? Shes hypothyroid and on meds.

So, I'm not the only one with this problem. Thanks for sharing your experience with the same behavior. Hopefully someone out there will have an idea. Adrians Mom

Thank you both for your replies. When in the car Adrian's aggression is towards people/cars that get within a parking space of the car. The damage is done when I am NOT in the car to give her a command to settle down. I'm not sure I could ask strangers in a parking lot to toss her a bone...

my 5 yr old female is aggressive in two situations that are problematic. 1. When dogs are being walked past our house or someone approaches the front door (she's damages all the windows. 2. In the car. a. While driving she'll growl and lung at passing bicylcists or people...

We've had our Boxer Rescue female, Adrian for three years and she has been a great dog. She is wary around other people and dominant with other dogs (except Cooper). We adopted Cooper (male rescue) in January. He was 10 mo old, sick and very malnourished. Maybe her maternal instincts...

Hi everyone, The vet visit went well. Cooper's stool was negative for giradia (sp?) but showed a high level of bacteria. He is on Metronidazole for a week and Hills i/d dog food (free promo through the Vet!). Matilda - I have been feeding them Kirkland (Costco's private label on a major...

Thank you both for your replies. Cooper could have eaten something, he is a real chewer and I've even seen sticks processed! He has not been boarded, had shots, or been out of my sight for months. What is confusing is that he had this diarhea for two weeks, it stopped for five days...

smashicon Our Boxer Rescue male, "Cooper" is about 18 months old and the last several weeks has been having diarhea. It started out looking like worcestershire sauce with globs of liver type tissue. It stopped for several days and has started again today although now it is almost clear...

We have a 4 year old female boxer, Adrian, we've had for several years and a 1 year old male boxer, Cooper, we've had for three months. Cooper loves to sit on Adrian, all the time. He'll sit on her head, her but, her stomach, he just backs into her and sits down. I haven't found any other...

Question for owners of two or more boxers. We have a 3 1/2 year old female (Adrian), which we have had for 2 years. We recently got her a playmate. A 9-month-old boy (Cooper, as in Alice). We got a boy because she does not play well with other females "She is VERY dominant". She took to...

Thank you both for your replies. My vet has been calling every other day or so to check on Cooper and his breathing. I'm a little more hopeful in hearing that it could be residual stress and may take awhile. He has settled in quite well and seems to be happy, happy. Coopers eating has...
