We just lost our 6 year old boxer 4weeks ago. It would appear she developed respiratory distress syndrome after aspiration. I think she must have had a mega esophagus as she had back to back episodes of "pneumonia" in February. Did not notice many choking episodes, but had a tendency to inhale her food. I had just taken her running 3 miles the day before and my wife had taken her for a two mile walk the day she got sick. She was a very healthy dog. My daughters boxer who was her best friend died 10 days prior. She lived with us for 4 years while my daughter was in med school. She died from DIC was only 7 years old and I suspect had underlying cancer. It has been devastating for all of us as they were such awesome dogs. Lawrence Carlsson Jr MD

Welcome to Boxer World Lawrence and so sorry for your losses.
Welcome! I am so sorry for your losses. Having just lost my oldest and most dear friend in the universe to idiopathic hepatitis, I have a huge hole in my soul...I lost my other girl just over 5 years ago now and I still breakdown in tears over her on occasion. I can't even imagine losing 2 back to back.
