Location: CENTRAL WISCONSIN		My dad has a 5 yr old female black lab. In the past 3 yrs, she has been carried out of the woods/fields at least a half dozen times because her hind quarters just failed to work. She normally recovers after just a few hours though. I did some research into this, and found that Labs in particular have this type of problem. It is mostly to blame on poor conditioning....and the fact that the Lab will basically work itself too hard. They just don't know when to stop. Check into it on the web. Very interesting.

Glad to hear she is doing better Chad. Good luck with the birds. Muskynutz, labs are prone to a hereditary disorder called exertional myopathy in which they can suffer weakness and cramping upon exertion and it is exacerbated by cold. There is some good information out there on the condition.

Mark,
Valium seems to help but I would say with limited success. Best not to breed these labs as it is hereditary.
