Hi, I'm new to labs. Our guy Rex is 5 months old his whiskers are really short, curly and incredibly spiky. Is this normal? Cheers Steve
Hi @SteveCampbellArt You will need to give us additional details. How short in terms of cms? Have you been using a Halti? Any other actions that would wear down the whiskers, accepting your observation that they are short?
Hi, they're 3-4cm long but curled, never used a halter of any kind. He's a tricky customer to photograph, but I'll try to get a close-up pic.
Yeah, ever since he's been with us. We got him at 12 weeks, lived with a family with little girls, I'm wondering if something happened when he was younger...
His sisters might have had real go while he was asleep in the whelping box. My Lab's whiskers are about 4 cms long. They are not soft. I don't know how often whiskers are replaced nor how long they take to grow. Question for a vet? http://leesvilleanimalhospital.com/help-my-dogs-whisker-fell-out/
