Boxer Talk

Hi all i'm new to the site, i have a 7 month old little one hes the best natured dog ever. A quick question for u all, he has got a bad claw its quite red, the vet gave me a weeks worth anti-inflamatory and anti-biotics. Hes going back tomorow to see him again. Any ideas on what u think? It doesny hurt him hes still the liveliest dog in the world, it has never bled i also clean his paws with baby wipes after every time he goes out (is that bad) Thanks alot for your help appreciated!!!

Hello Kimberly!

Nice to see you, Porsche sounds beautiful!

Hi David!

Can't really say as I know anything that would help with your boys claw. I'd trust the the vet's advice.

As to the baby wipes I can't imagine that could possibly harm him. Good enough for a baby's bum after all.

hi david i would be careful with the wipes. boxers are very sensitive dogs when it comes to there skin. we once cleaned rocko s cage with lysol & he got a very bad reaction ,he got a bunch of lumps all over his body. i had to rush him to a hospital @ like 4 a.m.
dont forget always get a 2 & 3 opinion.

Hey, cheers guys apprecaite the comments, the vet said his claw was fine
And the babywipes - he seems pretty okay nearly all the time, every now and then he winges, but i'm being alot more gentle when cleaning him up. plus they are fragrence free, he doesnt seem to have much problem with his skin. Another question what do u guys think about diets, do u use kibble or raw diet?? Thanks all for the advice!!!! David

"I would be careful with the wipes. Boxers are very sensitive dogs when it comes to there skin. "

This is true with all dog but yes particularly Boxers, and come to think on it baby wipes have alcohol on them don't they?

If you've used them a lot and they seem ok then I guess it's fine though.

Diet, well, my dogs have been fed dry food for a long, long time now. With no problems.

"don't forget always get a 2 & 3 opinion."

Definitely

Cheers Paul, much appreciated.

Yeah your right some babywipes have alcohol in them, but i use ones for sensitive skin and they are fragrence free. And yeah my dog is on dry food (NUTRO) as well with chicken, fish and some supplements. Anyway thanks Paul, cheers!

You're welcome David. Thanks for popping by!

Hopefully in the next month or two this little section will be replaced by a small message board just to make it easier to find and get information.

It should make life a little easier, there will be no registration required but if you do you get little extras.

It's been planned for a long time but I've been waiting for a certain software to make it's first stable release first.
