I was just told my 6 year old boxer, “Bagel”, has this issue and was told the surgical recovery was very painful. It’s affected his front middle teeth and all the time I thought he had lost them playing tug. I’m torn. Why should I put him thru the extreme pain and trauma when he seems just fine?

In reply to Eugenia. The surgery went fine. However, they opened Pandora’s box and she was later diagnosed with gingival hyperplasia. Of course this was unique to her and she’s alive and well after natural remrdies. Good luck. Let us know what you decide and how your boxer is doing.

In reply to Tara. How did your dog do with the gum issues, did you find a natural remedy, I have a 9 year old that had a toe amputated and I'm scare to put her through surgery that can be prevented. Please tell me about your dog.

My 11 year old neutered male, Casey, had this surgery a year ago completely w/o complications. Almost immediately the gums began
Intruding over his upper and lower incisors and small molars.
Im not inclined to subject him to a long procedure unless there’s no alternative.

In reply to Tara. I'm scared to ask but how is your daisy doing? I have 2 9 e year old Boxer Girls and one is having issues with her gums. I came across this article doing some research on it.

So sorry to hear about Daisy. I hope she recovers well. I found a large mass on my boxer’s gums yesterday. I’ve been doing some research and it seems to resemble gingival Hyperplasia. I’m hoping to find a natural cure for this issue as your story has got me a bit worried. Not sure if I want to put my 9 year old through another surgery — she’s already had several surgeries to remove Mast Cell Tumors.

Our Daisy is having this surgery a week from tomorrow. I am so sorry for your girl’s journey, this is the last thing you would have expected from a “routine” surgery.
