Re: [boxer lovers] Anyone in Southern California that can help this lovely boxer girl?

 



Quick update on sweet Sabrina in the Downey high kill shelter since July 7th. I'm back without her because they said she finished the a/b's on the 28th and needs to have a vet either spay or waive her for it. She is not 16. Probably about 5 or 6 at the most. She has a lump on her head and another on her front paw that will need to be removed and probably sent out for cytology. Do they do in house blood work before a spay there? will they remove the lumps while she's under if they decide she needs to be spayed before release? I got to spend about 20 mins with her in the yard. The poor thing is just terrified. She had her natural tail tucked under and was shaking. After about 5 mins or so she finally started to relax and 5 mins after that she sat right next to me and gave me a tiny boxer kiss. I even saw a little tail wag! She broke away on the way back to the kennel and was running scared around the lot, but she ended up coming to me. I'll give you guys an update tomorrow, but I really need help with finding her a forever home. My awesome sister has offered to foster her for two weeks and my husband has so far said ok for a few days with us. I'm not sure if I need to board her yet or not, but if she is still sick, that's what I'll do until I can bring her here. I thought I took some video of her, but I don't see it on my phone now?

Boxer hugs and kisses,

[boxer lovers] Re: what do you think

 

Nana,
I have three boxers, all from rescue. My two males will eat grass when they have an upset tummy. It's kinda like humans taking a tums or two, ya know. My female eats grass constantly. From day 1. When she runs, she will all of a sudden stop dead in her tracks and chow down on a clump. That happens so fast, sometimes her back-end is still going. I've seen her tumble over from the momentum...LOL. Anyways, just wanted to let you know that your vet is right. Dogs eat grass for a variety of reasons. It really is a part of their diet, just like other animals, ie..horses, cows, goats, etc... I don't think you have anything to worry about, unless your pups are vomiting after eating the grass. Then that would indicate an upset tummy. If that happens often, you should talk to your vet. Otherwise, I believe your boxers are as normal as can be for the breed! LOL

RE: [boxer lovers] Anyone in Southern California that can help this lovely boxer girl?

 



I know. all of us would do anything to have our babies with us as long as
possible, so it's just unfathomable that someone would decide their dog is
"too old" and heartlessly dump them at a high kill shelter. I want to hunt
them down and wring their necks! I'm sure she got the kennel cough at the
shelter. Jerks! Anyway, I had a thought last night, which was that I could
board her at my vet while she continues the respiratory infection treatment.
I just can't foster her long term once she's no longer contagious. My
husband is already being a gem by telling me to get her and that she could
stay with us a for a few days.

Thank you for the pledge. I'll let you know if I can pull this together. I
need rescue to commit to helping me with adoption and/or longer term foster.

Re: [boxer lovers] what do you think

 

My cockers eat grass and so does my boxer . The boxer even eats big chunks of cut dead grass - ick . They don't all the time but my dogs eat raw with supplements . I think mine eat grass when their tummy is upset mostly .The cockers are like goats on the grass. Has to be very nice and green .

I've been following Sabrina for two weeks now and so far she has $225 in pledges, but has yet to be rescued. She is past her due to euthanize date and the shelter is keeping her day by day because she is highly adoptable. Her owners cruelly abandoned her saying "she's too old." I can't even foster her because she has a respiratory infection, which is too risky with my senior. They are treating it, but she's still contagious. I'm in tears over this sweet girl :(
