Well, thanks for all of the advice everyone. After extensive testing, I just found out about 10 minutes ago that she has intestinal cancer. I can't remember the specifics because all I heard was cancer..., but it is not promising. The doctor has her on Prednisone right now, and tells us that...

Thanks again to everyone for the advice. Just an update here. She is doing much better. Another blood sample sent to the lab a few days ago show her liver and thyroid levels back to normal, but her pancreas is still off. We did decide to get a referral to an internist because she still has a...

Well - she's now through with the antibiotic. But her stomach is a mess. Hasn't eaten a decent meal in days. I put chicken in front of her nose and the smell of it caused her to vomit some bile. At this point we just want something in her stomach. I gave her some centrine this morning, and...

Thanks very much. I will also add those.

Thanks again. She hasn't got much of an appetite today, and actually just leaked some pee on the floor. So, there's another variable to consider... sigh. Any idea how a bladder control problem factors in? I think my problem is that when something doesn't produce results, I keep wanting to...

We have had problems with the new Wellness formula as well. And our local pet store reported similar concerns from other customers. I really like Wellness, and we have had great luck with the other formula for the past couple of years. Both of mine did very well on it. Since the change...

That is such great news! I read your post last night, and have been praying for Diamond ever since. I was so hoping to hear good news today :)

Our white boxer, Katy, had similar little bald spots. We assumed it might be allergy related, but the vet could never pinpoint a specific cause. We recently switched from Nutro Lamb and Rice to Wellness Lamb and Rice and the spots seem to be going away. Since there are so many potential...

Just wanting to introduce myself and my boxers and to thank all of the great people that moderate (and many that post to) this board. My name is Derrick, and I have been a viewer of this board for the last several months. My wife (Marcella) and I got our first boxer about a year ago - a fawn...
