persephone Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 a vet check would be my first thought! Fits can have all sorts of origins ... and IMO it is wise to notify your vet and get some advice . make a note of what she did/ate/played with this morning ...so you can tell the vet . I hope it was a one-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aziah Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Have you advised the pups breeder? If not, do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarsHollow Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thanks everyone, seems as if its probably most likely teething fit or she over exerted and fainted...typical boxer clown... Thanks again for everyone for their assistance Will continue to monitor her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terujo Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Thanks everyone, seems as if its probably most likely teething fit or she over exerted and fainted...typical boxer clown... Thanks again for everyone for their assistance Will continue to monitor her... Hi, I had a Boxer do that as a pup. She is almost 9 now :-) She did it about 4 or 6 times over a few weeks. I found that I needed to feed her more regularly (in smaller amounts of course) and it stopped! It also seemed to happen mostly when we arrived home after being out ( typical Boxer excitement ). The feeding regime made the difference- my bitch was about the same age too. It must have been something similar to low blood sugar levels maybe?

StarsHollow Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks Terujo Yes i think your right, she has been in confinement due to a leg injury, so has LOTS of energy when she does get out to go toilet, of course this is when it happened. She is still on 3 feeds a day..Royal Canin she has been fine so far...hopefully just a one off I remember as a little kid we had a labrador that did it once and not again, hopefully this will be the same. just gave me a fright !! Thanks again for everyone's help.. Take care !!! Thanks everyone, seems as if its probably most likely teething fit or she over exerted and fainted...typical boxer clown...
