I joined a couple of months ago, but I do not think that an introduction was made. My brother and myself got our first boxer around 17 years ago. His name was Brutus and he passed away a few years later from cancer. The next was an offspring by the name of Zeus, he was stolen after a few years. The next was Cujo he was killed by a car on a New Years Eve a couple of years ago, he was only a year old. My next Boxer was a male brindle named Rex. He was my pride and joy. Two years ago he fell out of the back of a moving truck causing his right rear leg to break really bad. That was the last time that I put one of my dogs in the back of an open truck bed. Well, after a surgery that required metal plates and screws he recovered very well. About a year after that he fell sick after receiving his 6 month heart worm shot. Well three weeks later and three different Vet's I was told that he will not recover and I had to make that hard decision to have him put down. I did not get a reason for his sickness but I believe it was brought on from the heartworm shot. I really miss him, he had two weeks to make his 5th birthday. Well now I have Zack, he was born on September 30, 2004. He is light fawn with white markings. Thank you for reading, and having me as a member

P.S.Please post a new thread at a health forum and write some details about what happened to Rex after the heartworm shot.im sure it must be hard for you to discuss it but, it is sooooooooooo important to us to know if it really is dangerous.

Hi and welcome. So sorry about the tragedies you've had over the years! I also would like to hear more about the heartworm problem that you suspect - I hope you take Keeroff's suggestion and post about that, it might be really educational for everyone. It is good to have you on the forum.
