    My 12month Boxer Seems To Be Small For His Age..

    in Health / Nutrition / Grooming

    Posted · Edited by bommy

    dont stress, there is no uniform exact size for boxers - hence why the standard gives you the following:

    Sizes: Dogs: 56-61 cm (22-24 ins) at the withers. Bitches: 53-58.5 cm (21-23 ins) at the withers. Heights above or below these figures not to be encouraged. Dogs around 58.5 cm (23 ins) should weigh about 30 kg (66 lbs) and Bitches of about 56 cm (22 ins) should weigh about 28 kg (62 lbs).

    the above is for a fully grown dog :)

    If Basil is from slow maturing lines, give him at least another 6-12mths

    This link shows the anatomy of a boxer http://worldwideboxer.com/ANATOMY.html

    For the height measure to the withers as shown by line D in the picture on the link.

    When you measure as well try to stack him square as shown in the picture...

    ETA: Just read the rest of your post properly, by Science - do you mean science diet? Though its a premium price I will never feed it to our guys... We feed allour dogs on a Raw Prey Diet, if you want his coat to deepen & shine try abit of cooked pumpkin in his diet or go for livamol.

    Omg Desexing Is So Expensive!

    realistically though whats the $$$ cost when you look at the other social effects of not desexing... unwanted litters is a greater cost

    BUT considering we pay $145.00 just to walk into the clinic here, its not that bad a cost...

    I will never use it on my dogs.

    I think you will find in states/council areas where "pet dogs" are legally meant to be sterilised they will only do the surgical sterilisation, especially in the breed/xbreeds that legally, have to sterilised as well.

    Sorry Crysti Lei.... I am not much help BUT wanted to say...

    as I havent had any experience with it,

    How does the breed go handling Anaesthetics? That would impact my decision on the 3 options you have.

    What does the breeder recommend?? this would also be a consideration I would take into account.

    What does the vet feel option A offers in the dissapearance stakes & what are teh chances of it growing more?

    Any Suggestions For An Alternative?

    have you consulted her breeder at all?

    Is it definitely internal or could it be something like a environment allergy? I see that she is 5 has she always been like this? for her whole life?

    Try the raw prey diet base it on leaner meats, you may have to go low protien even.. do you give her things like Aloe VeraJuice? Yakult etc? try some of those as well.

    What do you was her bedding in?Do you fertilise your yard? ALl of this can be irritants to your girl,

    Also has your vet done skin scrapings for mange at all?

    ETA: Try a splash of apple cider vinegar in her drinking water, as well as her rinsing water when you wash her

    I'M SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS THIS YEAR

    I see the countless Christmas trees

    Around the world below

    With tiny lights, like heaven's stars,

    Reflecting on the snow.

    The sight is so spectacular,

    Please wipe away that tear.

    For I'm spending Christmas

    With Jesus Christ this year.

    I hear the many Christmas songs

    that people hold so dear.

    But the sounds of music can't compare

    With the Christmas choir up here.

    For I have no words to tell you

    The joy their voices bring,

    For it is beyond description

    To hear an angel sing.

    I can't tell you of the splendor,

    or the peace here in this place.

    Can you just imagine Christmas

    With our Savior, face to face?

    I'll ask Him to light your spirit,

    As I tell Him of your love.

    So then, pray for one another

    As you lift your eyes above.

    Please let your hearts be joyful,

    and let your spirit sing,

    For I'm spending Christmas in heaven,

    and I'm walking with the king!
