Someone recently told us that there are German Boxers and American Boxers. Is this accurate? We have a fawn male and they say he is the american type and we have a brindle female and they say she is German. I had never heard this, but I am not an expert either. Mom to Luke and Sophie

OK, this is a shot in the dark, but has anyone ever heard of a micro-chip causing super sensitivity on the dogs skin in that area? Luke has been battling skin problems for about the last year now, and one major area I notice is on his back between the shoulder blades. If you just barely touch...

The vet put Luke on Hydroxyzine 75mg for his itching which hasnt been helped by any other meds. Has anyone out there ever used this? We just started a few days ago, but I am curious to know if anyone elses vet has tried this.

loaf of bread Luke ate a loaf of bread once too, it wasnt fresh baked. Luckily he tore off the wrapper and just ate the loaf. He is a table surfer and cabinet surfer, I'd love tocatch it on video. Stacey Luke's mom

loves scrunchies Luke has a habit of eating hair scrunchies. I dont know it until I am cleaning up his poop and happen to see one in there. He also has an underwear obsession, but I wont go into that. Luke's mom

Hello everyone! Luke's itching seems to be well under control. Now we are left with patches of really thin hair up and down his legs and thighs. He was really licking these areas at one time (not any more) Is there anything good to add to his diet to help regrow the hair? Some days I worry he...

we have an almost 4 year old male boxer, LUke. He is really great with our 5 year old. They have been together almost their whole lives. While she is in the front yard playing, he stands and looks out the screen door. Well, she has come inside in tears because of neighbor kids being "mean"...

Hi everyone, well, We went to the vet on Friday, the vet gave him a shot of ivermectin. He said it is an alternative treatment for the Demadec. He started him on Cephalexin three times a day to help with any secondary skin infections. I have been putting Aloe on his raw spots and it seems to...

What about being your shadow and thinking he's got to go everywhere with you, and if he doesnt, then, man the guilt trip is on!! Stacey Luke's Mom

prednisone he was given prednisone for itchy skin, actually the science diet is at least curbing the horrific gas he usually has. I got one that is for sensitive skin. Although I know demadex is not just sensitive skin, I figure it cant hurt. But, I will check out those links you have...

Ivermectin Gosh, I took Luke into our Vet on Friday and told him my suspicions about Demodex (Luke had it as a pup, he is 4 now)and he told me about Ivemectin, and gave Luke and injection. He has been fine, still itchy and miserable though. Due to our small town environment, he is contacting...

We are in a small town called Glenrock, which is about 18 miles from Casper.

Prednisone hey, well, he has been off it for about a week, I am convinced that it has done more harm than good, so I am trying to rebuild his immune system with science diet and lots of TLC. From what I have been reading, he may have developed Demadec from the compromise of his immune system...

hey, does anyone know how long it takes for Prednisone to get out of a dog's system?

Hi, just want to say hello. We have a 4 year old, fawn, male boxer named Luke. He is battling some skin irritations right now, that is how I found Boxerworld. Your forums are very helpful and really a delight to hear how there are so many boxer fans. We love our guy and hope to get this...
