Thank you! Your kind words mean the world to me. No one else can understand the loss of a boxer baby.

I lost my Gus on Friday I know how all of you feel. We lost our Caleb in June of '04 to a brain tumor. He was almost 12. Friday we had to put Gus down also to a brain tumor. He was going to be 11 in August. My heart is breaking. I was so lucky to have them the time I did, but I am...

Gus is gone Hi folks, We had to put my baby down Friday afternoon. He was down all day and wouldn't eat or drink. I had a bad feeling Friday morning. I rushed home from work and my husband and I took him to our vet. I have lost three before him, but it is HORRIBLE each time. ( What a...

Arthritis We use glucosamine/chondroitin and MSM. MSM is something also given to horses. You can get in in pill form and my doctor says it is not toxic. People with arthritis can take up to 9,000 mg per day. We only give our guys 1 pill per day of each. It really helped our 13 year old...

Update on Gus Thanks to all of you for your kind notes. Gus is now back to where he was before accupuncture. He is sleeping a lot and would not raise his head up for me this morning before I went to work. My husband is with him, he is retired. How do you know when it is time to let him go...

Hello everyone, You may know me from my recent post about Gus, but I didn't introduce myself. I have three boxers, Gus, 10, who has a brain tumor. Molly and Gabe are my rescue boxers (with tails!) 3 yrs old and Poot our gigantic lab mix who was sold to us as a boxer/bulldog! They saw us...

Thank you from Gus's mom. Thanks to everyone for your kind words. Gus didn't want to eat yesterday for the first time. I finally got him to eat some applesauce and some canned dog food. He is having a hard time holding his head straight. I think the time is close. We are taking him to...

Thank you. Right now we are going crazy. I appreciate the kind words. I am so sorry for your loss. I've been there.

Hi all, My 10 year old male, Gus, has started having seizures. Our vet is convinced it is a brain tumor and at Gus's age feels and MRI etc. is a waste of money. If we find out it is a tumor, what can be done, not much. Gus is on pheobarital and has not had a seizure in two weeks, but is...
