same situation I am in what sounds like the exact same situation as VTbxr explained to start this thread. My entire situation is very, very similar and is explained in detail in my previous posts. Our rescue Sugar is the instigator. There had been no fights at all for a very long time. They...

update on agression issues Hello, My back story is #23 on this post. This is an update because the issues have returned and it is much worse. Both dogs did work w/ a trainer for 10 days in July and I continued to read, research, learn and apply all the info. They continued to be fine w/...

There have been some great name ideas thus far. Congrats on your new puppy! I chose the name before I even met Reznor. His full AKC name is Rowdy Reznor Rito Supreme. I wanted to name him after someone that I respected and also wanted to be sure that his name would be very unique. I decided to...

Thank you, that's what I've learned about the Sarcoptic version as well. As far as the holistic vet goes, I am only working w/ my traditional vet and w/ a homeopathic vet. I have done tons of reasarch on the different chemical treatments also. My traditional vet wants to do Ivemectin injections...

Both of my dogs have had Sarcoptic mange since Oct. (I have old posts w/ more details about it.) Since then we have tried basically everything BUT chemicals on them and also switched to raw food in the middle of Nov. At first they seemed to get better but now are much worse. Noone can sleep at...

starting fresh Tina, I just read this thread for the first time. I was struck by what you said re: everyone over 16 being married. You have a great sense of humor! I am one of those "married people" and I am also your age. As you know, just because someone is married, it doesn't mean that they...

immune system Sorry that you are having to deal with these types of issues! One important thing that is sometimes overlooked by the vet is boosting her immune system. When Reznor had demodectic mange, we focused on boosting his overall health and immune system and he got better. I still have...

This is the first time I have read this post. I literally feel physically ill and am so sorry that you and your family are having to deal with this tragedy. I just want to share how honored I am to know of someone like you. Your attitude and outlook are amazing. I am so glad that you are able to...

starting over I agree that it sounds like you might need to go back to basics. I understand your frustration because Reznor does/did alot of the things that you described. Also, because of everything that all of you went thru w/ her surgery and recovery, she easily could have "unlearned" what...

Thank you. That is what I thought too. You are very right that the "mature" thing would have been to not respond. I was just really suprised and couldn't help it. Take care and thanks for pointing out the purpose of the thread. It is obviously something that needed to be done.

I just wanted to thank you for your mature response. It just goes along w/ the attitude that "taking the law into your own hands" will solve the problem. The purpose of my post was to give another point of view. I did not realize that the purpose of this thread was to "make friends." The only...

so lucky! I am so glad that he came back! The same type of thing happened to us last year w/ Reznor. I came home frm work and the 3 of us went to play in our backyard. After a few minutes, Reznor started furiously scratching and rubbing his face. I checked him, and almost as I watched, his face...

sorry about your experience! I am so sorry that you and your children (skin and fur) have had to experience this situation. This is my first knowledge of your post and thus, I have had the advantage of reading everyone's response to your situation. Because of what you are going thru, and what...

twice the "fun" When Reznor was 15 months, we adopted Sugar who was about 3(?) at the time. Before the addition of Sugar, it seemed that no matter what we did, Reznor NEVER got tired! For example, my husband would take him on the morning walk and when I got home we would either go for a VERY...

Clank, please don't go away! Clank, I would like to congratulate you on your new pup. You came to the right place to get the info you're looking for. Please do not be discouraged because of some of the responses. You are doing such a great job just by coming to Boxerworld to learn more...
