Rocky's not doing so well. (he's the brown one on page one). He's 11 now and looking very old. Lately he's lost alot of weight and he's had a hard time walking these last two days. I hope he snaps out of it, but I'm getting the bad feeling that he may be on a one-way slippery slope to doggy heaven.
Yo, Met... thanks for the sig! GO DUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has he been to the Vet yet? Maybe he has arthritis, and maybe they can give him some meds to help out. Is he eating good? Sometimes when dogs have arthritis it hurts so bad that they wont get up to eat.
Man I hope he snaps out of it too, it's sad watching your friend suffer. My thoughts are with you man.

Thanks. My wife took him to the vet today and he's staying the night. He does have arthritis, like you thought, and has a lot of muscle loss. I guess he could hardly walk this afternoon so my wife and kids had to carry him on a blanket to the car. Poor guy.
You could be right about not eating. They are going to run some tests and get him up and running, I hope. He's 11 and Boxers often only go 8-10, so who knows.
Thanks, though.
