Boxer with luxating patella wants to run and play? General Dog Discussions
He wants to be just a typical Boxer, including all his crazy energy. Of course we stop him as soon as we see him starting to get worked up, and apparently according to the vet, it's at a point where it is still okay sometimes and not bothering him. I'm guessing that's when he gets into play mode. Is there any way to stop this entirely though so we can prevent it from getting even worse with all his bouncing around that he wants to do?Reality Bites - I pretty much agree completely with everything you said, but no, I didn't learn from this. We've gotten all our dogs from the Boxer rescue and will keep doing so in the future.... so we knew from the beginning what we were getting into. This didn't start until age 8.... but, like you said, I wasn't sure how fair it was to him. He does, for the most part.... I'd say 80% of the time..... act and look like a typical Boxer. I just don't want it getting any worse which is why I try to keep him calmer.
