They say that there has been mismarked labradors that show brindling on the legs or on the mouth. But Has anyone ever seen a Labrador that has the whole body colored Brindle?

CritterKeeper Jeez, touchy much? So why not give me "the benefit of the doubt" and "assume" that I "have a reason" for replying as I did. I've worked with dogs professionally for many years. I never say NEVER when it comes to any animal but finding brindling on a full...

I've smoked for many years. I'll quit. I do need a little help to get over the edge. My doctor recommended Welbutrin (well it's generic form). I read the contraindications and I'm wondering what people who've tried to quit have...

CritterKeeper I was taking welbutrin for awhile for depression but the doctor said a good side affect was it would help me quit smoking. Trouble was I didn't really WANT to quit smoking back then! LOL When I took it and smoked the cigarettes didn't taste good anymore and...

CritterKeeper That's not a lab or a mismark. As the picture says it's a mixed breed. The brindling just came from a non-lab ancestor of the dog.

Ok, so sucking her brains out might be a little over the top, but the tick was on pretty good! I found it (I think it was a brown dog tick) this morning when I was brushing her hair. It made me jump when I ran my fingers over the...

CritterKeeper I believe the only problem with leaving the head in actually is the same as any other foreign object, it can cause an infection at the site. That's why you should clean the area after removing it. I'm so glad you got it! I had a tick on my back as a child...

CritterKeeper Ugh yuck gross!!!! I can pick up and enjoy scorpions, tarantulas, snakes, you name it but ticks just make me feel like I want to vomit! LOL I'd say you've got some good advice from zukepr there (hope I spelled that right?) but just to clarify, when you pull...

I was working as an animal warden in one of the national parks tiger rehabilitation center. Though we think that these animals are scary and wild, they are as sober as your dog or cat. As a matter of fact they get attached to you...

CritterKeeper I disagree with keeping such animals as pets. As you said, they are not tame in any way, they are still wild animals even if they've learned to accept humans to a large degree. This makes them unpredictable and very dangerous to average owners who can't even...

CritterKeeper Awwww I was so sure you'd be local so I could loan you a shoulder to lean on. Well I'm still here online if you need someone who's been there, done that :) I'll private message you my email address. Hopefully it'll make you feel a tiny bit better. I know...

Well my question is about VBAC. My son was born by c-section because I was in labor for 22 hours and pushed for 1 1/2 hours and he wouldn't come out. He was 10 punds and 8 ounces. I wanted to know which is the best route VBAC or...

CritterKeeper I had a VBAC and I'm so glad I did!!! I was in labor for 25 hours with my first son, still not fully dialated, and his heartrate was starting to fluctuate too much for our comfort. He turned out to be nearly 10 lbs and I'm very small. When he was out they...

CritterKeeper I totally agree with you about all of that! The less intervention you can get away with the better! Being able to walk around if you feel like it, change positions, stay very relaxed and calm...all things that can make labor easier and less painful but are not...

CritterKeeper Oh! I just saw under "Similar Discussions" at the bottom of this page a post by someone who is an RN and Lactation Consultant (pilsberry22)!!! Maybe you can drop her a message to get a little expert help!

CritterKeeper Oh hun, I wish I had better advice to give you! I just gritted my teeth through the soreness phase and it did go away after a few weeks or so. Air drying is definitely good for them! Also if you have a private enough place to do so (or there's a good clothing...

CritterKeeper It is always the fault of humans. Breed banning like this comes from ignorance and is shameful. I can't disagree more strongly with PsychoDude! To a professional who's worked extensively with dogs like me these dogs are very predictable! Dogs never just lash...
