Sam has been to the woods twice today where he charges through the undergrowth with no hesitation . When we came back this morning , I noticed a tiny drop of blood on his bed , had a good look at him and couldnt see anything . Then this afternoon , when I called him up, blood was coming from his nose , so off to the Vets , he has a cut inside his nose, most likely caused by his charging headlong into briars and rough ground after his dummy . No treatment , apart from " try to keep him a little calm for a few days to stop agitation and help healing " Right , I`ll explain that to Sam then : Whilst there, he was weighed and is a whopping 35 kilos , no fat on him but at 20 months, we had noticed him filling out in the chest and front regions plus hind quarters , what a lump
Re: Trip to the Vet Poor Sam A sore nose, AND his mum calling him a lump! Think he needs a little treat to make him feel better.....eh Sam? jac
Re: Trip to the Vet He sounds so lovely Kate. Such a lovely kind boy. You must love him very much! My old Bones also weighed 35 kg, with no fat on him at all. Little Poppy weighs 23.6 kg...
Re: Trip to the Vet That is little Karen. Digby was 22.2 kg, weighed on a visit to vets this week, and only 6 months.
Re: Trip to the Vet Our first Lab was 35kg and lean. Our current boy is 24kg - he seems tiny!!! I hope that Sam's nose is healing up well. I bet he got out of the offending briar patch quick smart. I agree that treats are in order
Re: Trip to the Vet One little lab at our training class only weighs 19 kg! But she and Poppy are the keenest retrievers of the whole group... ;D
Re: Trip to the Vet I find it hard to think that he weighs that much because he is slim, has a well defined waistline, can feel but not see ribs . I guess muscle weighs more than fat and he has got big bones and muscles but is also quite tall . At a glance you`d think he weighed about 30 kilos max . Big lumux
Re: Trip to the Vet Lady's brother, Milo, is about half as big again as Lady and is 38 kg. Not an ounce of excess weight on him, just much bigger.
