Boxer Health Survey 2020 Results

Brachycephalic Health
We thought you might be interested in a unique webcast hosted by Kennel Club Chairman, Tony Allcock OBE, discussing brachycephalic health and what can be done collaboratively to ensure a healthier future for our dogs.
The webcast panel is made up of Dr Jane Ladlow, leading BOAS researcher; Bill Lambert, Head of Health and Welfare at the Kennel Club; and Charlotte McNamara, Health and Welfare Development Manager at the Kennel Club. The panel discuss brachycephalic health, approaches across Europe, the need for a collaborative, evidence-based approach and the importance of data collection and ongoing research into the complex Brachycephalic Obstructive Airways Syndrome (BOAS).

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE BOXER BREED  COUNCIL HEALTH COMMITTEE. 

Juvenile Kidney Disease has been reported as a possible health problem in Boxers. So far, the reported cases are consistent 
with an occurrence of less than 0.1% within the UK Boxer population however we  cannot be complacent and this number may simply mean that not all cases are being reported. Boxer Breed Council is 
therefore encouraging the whole Boxer community to get involved in identifying   and reporting cases to allow us to research the condition thoroughly. The symptoms seen are increased thirst and therefore an 
increase in urination. Loss of appetite, weight loss, stunted growth, lethargy and vomiting are also seen in most cases. When the kidneys are examined by ultrasound they are smaller than normal and often uneven in shape. Symptoms usually start between four months and two years. If you know of a possible case please e/mail 
boxerhealth@yahoo.com and you will be sent all the details of what you need  to do by return. Reasonable expenses  which are incurred in providing samples will be covered by Boxer Breed Council. All reported cases will remain confidential to the Boxer Breed Council Health Committee and its scientific advisors
