She looks so peaceful, I get some nervous sometimes when I see her like this. As of lately her breathing has slowed down at night. She’s been doing more panting for day to day things. Even getting onto the couch is a chore.
Let's see those REAL dogs...

I think so. Mom is pretty well ready to cave I think, dad not so much. Granted he never had pets growing up.
She was just laying in their laps snoring away while they watched tv and loved on her. They got to help feed her, give her treats and all
The nervous thing stinks, I still find myself checking when I get home to make sure mine didn’t get sick on the rug by the door. Hopefully she’ll be ok for a bit
She has a tough job.

well, shit... blood work came back kind of mixed, some kidney levels are down (which is good) but creatinine is creeping up. We have an appointment with a specialist but not until August... really dont know what else can be done other than up her subcutaneous fluids.
Think positive my friend, it will be alright! Just do the best you can to keep things steady. Keep your head up brother.
thanks man.
I'm hoping thats not why she's been a little reluctant to eat and it's from all the moving around/traveling etc...
About the best way, I’ve found, to get the little girl to quench her thirst. She still hasn’t gotten used to having unrestricted access to her water bowl. Eating is a hassle but we’re getting there.

Little photo dump of my two Boxer maniacs. It's been hard watching my older one slow down and gain weight from the prednisone/chemo he's been on since January, but I'm definitely giving him the best life possible.
Just a couple lazy Anatolians. They turn 10 this October. Still book it up to the fence at the top of the property.
When they are not doing this of course.
AC compressor fan died yesterday. Boxer teaching humans how to handle the heat.
Sterling Archer needs a haircut.
Hurricane was making her very scared, got her under a blanket and gave her some treats to help. Took the blanket off and found her like this. Sleeping like a champ haha. Her hips keep giving out, gonna see what the vet suggests as far as treatment aside surgery since I know she’s to old.

How’s it working out? I know pitbulls are prone for bad hips later on in life. She turns 12 in October. She’s very active still, which is crazy when she walks normal she loses her footing and slips. When she runs her back legs just kinda hop, however she’s fast as hell still.
Ask your vet about Adequan. It's an injectable used for joint pain, lowered range of motion, and limpness. My senior Boxer fully tore his ACL and I didn't want to put him through surgery because he was actually getting around pretty well, so my vet prescribed Adequan. He went back to standing up to look at food on the counter, jumping, playing, running, etc. Amazing drug.
I’ll ask about that, thank you very much. Happy to hear your boxer is happy and healthy!
