ARE SEIZURES COMMON IN YOUNG BOXERS
Permalink   


I HAD A OLDER BOXER THAT DIED OF SEIZURES-WOULDNT STOP REGARDLESS OF MEDS GIVEN. ONE DIED OF LYMPHADNOPATHY IN HER NECK NON OPERABLE. RECENTLY MY 2 YR. OLD WHITE BOXER DIED OF SEIZURES. IS THIS COMMON IN BOXERS IN GENERAL OR DO WHITE BOXERS HAVE DIFFERENT CHEMICAL SYSTEMS.

Seizures will not actually kill a dog. It is whatever condition is creating the seizures. What medical diagnosis did you  have with both of your Boxers? Were the dogs related by breeding?

And no, white Boxers do not have a different chemical make up. They simply have "no" makeup :)

Sadly, seizures are fairly common in dogs period... not just particular breeds.  Most often, the cause of the seizures is never determined.  It is sad when seizurfes are frequent and meds don't control them, but this does happen.  I am sorry for your loss.
As for any connection with this animal being a white boxer, there is nothing (other than deafness and possible sunburns) that white boxers ar emore prone to than fawns or brindles.
