    Boxers and heat?

    I always checked weather reports and temps for the day before I went to work. The older they get, the more sensitive they are. When inside: I set up a box fan on moderate day, or turn on the ac to 72-74F on a really hot day. Use bed sheets over the doorway to one room if you only have a...

    "Putting weight on" troubles...

    10 yr old with unexplained diahrea

    I hope you get this in time. I had a Boston who was ten with the same problem. Since you have a negative stool sample. I highly suggest you take her in for an ultrasound. It could be as little as pancreaitis or something worse. My Boston had a small tumour on the muscle that controls the...
