Our 2 1/2 yr old femal boxer contracted the Canine Prototheca. We are devestated. We had to euthanize her. Her story is the same as Belle’s. I cry every day. It is tragic that a healthy, strong, young dog can’t fight a fungus. Horrifying. I’m traumatized to even think of getting another boxer. Crushed, I tell you, just heartbreaking.

My name is Mikaela and I have an almost 2 year old boxer puppy named Ramzee. The past 2-3 months Ramzee has been holding up his front left paw. He is still super active, high energy and good appetite. He will run around and play but afterwards he limps and picks up his paw. We have taken him to the vet and he has looked at his whole leg and paw, clipped his nails, tested for Lyme and everything is fine. We have kept him off his paw as much as possible the past few weeks but he continues to randomly limp. The vet does not think it is broken or fractured since he will put pressure on it and run around. Has this happened to anyone with their boxers? I just feel so bad for him and want to get him the best treatment possible. Thanks
