Unfortunately, cancer is one of the most widespread and serious Boxer health issues with brain tumors to be the most common among them. Brain cancer is usually developed at the age of 8 years, if it is to occur. Actually, it can happen at any age, so Boxer owners are to keep an eye on their dog’s health so to find out the signs of this disease, especially in the dog’s later adult age. Skin cancer is less widespread, and it occurs usually with white Boxers or those, who have a lot of white spots on their coat. However, you can manage with this problem by means of sun screen protection cream.
Reasons of why cancer actually appears: - Genetics (it can pass through genes and Boxers are especially prone to brain tumors)
- Environmental cause (passive smoking, let us say)
- Random mutation (cancer tumors appear without no explanation)
- Various injuries that happen at puppy age and then get worse when the dog grows up (lots of bone cancer cases appear because of this reason)
- Frequent sniffing of the ground that sometimes causes nasal cancer. It can be explained that ground can often contain chemicals or other harmful substances that are transported to the dog's sinus cavities through sniffing.
