WAT
Boxer Insane
My Minxie is at the vet again, the third time in 2 weeks. She is rapidly losing weight. I noticed about a week ago she had stopped eating her kibble, which is not too alarming she has always been a finicky eater, and can usually be enticed back to bowl with some parmesan cheese. It didn't work, then she stopped eating her cookies, not a good sign. I noticed she had dropped a couple of pounds, and had diarreah also. I got her into the vet for a check up. The doctor ran blood work and noticed she was stiff in her jaw. He x-rayed her jaw and found some athritis. He said her blood work was perfect. He gave her a shot for inflamation and asked that I give her pepto for her runny poos. I started home cooking for her and she was loving it. But she still had the runny poos, and now they were mucousy and bloody. I took her back in, with a stool stample - which was fine - he said it sounds like colitis and gave me Sulfasalazine. This was Friday. And all I can see is Blaze all over again, we lost him in March, almost with the same symptoms and meds. The hurt is still so fresh from losing him. Over the weekend Minx started unrinating in the house and vomitting, she is back at the vet right now, he is going to do a barium on her, again Blaze had this test also. She is down to 43lbs, from 52. I am sitting here in tears, I feel in my heart I am losing her. Please send those wonderful boxer vibes and prayers out for us. I am just devasted, I can't handle losing 2 in one year. She is only 8 years old, and my first Boxer love. I am going to pick her up after 4:30 today. I will post more then unless I hear something before.
