Animal And Company: Re: [boxer lovers] Colitis in Boxers----Beware Graphic Description

Janice, I haven't heard of this. My first Boxer had what my vet called "Boxer gut" easily "disturbed" when things changed. I even took water with me if we went out of town so she would have the same water. Her episodes usually involved excessive gas and I would give her an occasional Pepcid and put her on canned ID or ED dog food for a day or so. When Dugga was a puppy she had explosive diarrhea for about two weeks and for the life of me I can't remember what it was called but she was on an antibiotic for two weeks and then she was fine. Good luck with this and please let us know what you find out.
Vida

Subject: [boxer lovers] Colitis in Boxers----Beware Graphic Description

Hi All,

I have been around for forever and have seldom needed help but my vet (of
30 years) told me today that my 10 year (approximately) young female
brindle rescue may have a type of colitis that boxers are prone to and he
said that it's untreatable.......I was dropping off a particularly messy
stool sample that looked like it had a touch of blood and lots of mucus and
some of her intestine involved...Have any of you dealt with this issue?
Any information would be so appreciated.....my Marciano seems so healthy
most of the time but the past couple of months she has these episodes and
her vet and I have been trying to treat her but after a few weeks she seems
to relapse and I'm concerned. Pumpkin doesn't do anything and besides she
won't eat it.. She is on a low residue diet and no treats. Please help
us. Thanks so much in advance.

Janice &
Marciano
in St Louis
Missouri
