Boxer Insane
Here is some info that is from a reputable breeder's website that she recommends Boxer owners should do: (Hope this helps you able to detect anything as he gets older)
Heart: SAS/AS Auscultation by Board certified Cardiologist (should be done at 12 months and again at 24 months) If a murmur is detected an Echo CardioGram Color Flow Doppler should be performed as well.
Heart: 24 hour Holter monitor. A test for BCM that records your Boxers heart for a period of 24 hours. A low number of PVC’s is acceptable.
Thyroid: Full Panel thyroid testing is recommended at 12 months and every year after until the age of 4.
Eyes: It is recommended* that your dogs eyes be tested and registered with the Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) beginning at 12 months and every year thereafter.
Hip Dysplasia: It is recommended that your dog be X-Rayed for Hip and or Elbow Dysplasia. A preliminary exam can be done before 2 years of age, but the final result can not be done until the dog is 2 years old.
