    Lymphoma symptoms and diagnosis

    Boxmom - Thank you for sharing that. Sounds very much like Brodie and I'm glad to hear Bailey made it 14 months as we are being told to expect much less. Brodie began drinking buckets of water and we thought it was strange. The vet initially thought it was an UTI and prescribed anti-biotics...

    Hello Fellow Boxer Lovers

    Glad I found this community and happy to know there are others who enjoy dogs as much as my family does. Our Boxer is named Brodie, he is 3 years old and, in my daughter's words, the most loving beast in the whole world. We have loved him and enjoyed his company since he was just over 6...
