Re: [Nick Chew] Just Adopted One female Lab,Need Some Advice [In reply to] Can't Post

if u write in more proper english maybe more people can understand you.

1. you can bring her to a vet, normally you can tell the age by how her teeth are.

2. she is probably in shock since you mentioned she is a stray. give her time, let her eat when she feels like eating. sometimes it helps if you are there to praise her. but be careful stray dogs can be vicious cause they have to "fight" for everything but labs are good natured in temperament.

3. this is caused by lying on hard floors for very long. it's called callouses. my adopted golden has it. we put tea tree oil on it and so far very slowly fur is starting to grow back on his elbow.

4. dont know why she wont open her mouth.

5. she probably just finished heat cycle, this can also make her breast seems hanging low. if she just gav ebirth, where is the pups? probably she is very restless cause her pups are not there. try walking her on a leash and see if she would bring you to the pups if they are not dead yet.

6. labs can live up to 12 years, very healthy ones can live up to 15 - 16 years.
