Picking the Collective Brain

One of our BML friends is looking for some advice for her Miz Petey.

*****

For a little background, back around November she had a bad bout with hives. We got that fixed and then she came down with the mast cell tumor. The operation to remove that was in January and a week later she had a stroke.

Since then what looks like bumps have shown up on her head and shoulders. They have not really spread past what you see in the pictures. You can run your hand over them and they aren’t raised. It looks dark underneath the spots but, if you part the fur, her skin is the normal pink not dark. They do not appear to bother her as she doesn't scratch them.

For the cancer we are keeping her on 2 benadryl 2 times a day along with 1 tagamet and 1 fish oil capsule 2 times a day. For the stroke the vet is having me give her 1 baby aspirin every other day. Did not know if some combination of this medicine could be causing this issue.

Even our vet is stymied on this one so was curious if anyone else might have experienced it before. I was wondering if the stroke did something to her system to have caused this.As you can see from the last photo this is really not disrupting her life or stressing her in anyway.

Honourary Boxers

Having been a part of the Boxer Mailing List for so many years you get to know each other. Whether you have met someone in person or not, in my opinion it doesn't make them less of a friend.

As time has passed we have lost people off the list who no longer have Boxers. That makes me sad because the majority of the time they have made the decision for reasons that have nothing to do with lack of love for our breed. I always wish they had "talked" to me about it first.

One of our members did give me that opportunity recently, her household had decided to "downsize" their canine companions. I told her that doesn't make them any less of Boxer fans so why leave the BML? Besides, if she left I would never have had the chance to see these cutie patooties.
