    Labrador won't eat!
    I have a 10 month old black female labrador. We went on vacation for a week and she went to boarding kennels - she's been before. We've been back a week now. She seems perfectly happy, bouncy and joyful but she hasn't eaten a thing in three days - should I be concerned?

    If she hasn't eaten in 3 days, is she drinking water, urinating and defecating normally? How is her weight? The first thing I would do, is to call the kennel and find out what kind of schedule they had her on and what, if anything happened during her stay. Did they feed her a different chow? Did she eat everything in her bowl? Did she make any new special friends that she might be missing? How much exercise did she get? Tell them what is going on and what your concern is. If they can't give you any clue as to why this is, I think it may be time for a vet check. 3 days should be long enough for her to have readjusted to being back home after only being in a kennel for a week.

About a Labrador [ 5 Answers ]

My husband and I have just adopted an adult yellow labrador retriever mix from the Humane Society. We haven't brought him home yet, but we will be next weekend. I'm not sure what else he's mixed with, but he is more than 50% lab as they have guessed too. My question is... he hasn't been properly...

My male labrador is 10 months old and weighs about 58lbs when his brothers and friends that are his age weigh about 85lbs, but his height is about the same as theirs. He just is not that thick, does this mean my dog is not going to be that much bigger than he is know or do some dogs have later...
