QuestionWhats an average life of a Lab? Pin

Hello Friends,

I have 2 labs, one is just an year old. The other is almost 8 years old. My vet says that an average life of a lab is 9 years, which means he has just an year left(which is very upsetting).

I cant believe how animals have a bonding amongst them selves. One of my labs(who(i dont call him "which")) is just an year remains disturbed these days, i sense a difference in his behavior, its like something bad is going to happen.

eventually following links i found out that my first lab who was in a bomb detection squad smelled at least 2 kgs of RDX few months back may be has developed some kind of a disease. When i ask my parents they dont tell me and somehow there is no cure.

So i asked many of my friends, they say their labs lived for 10-15 years. All of a sudden there is loss in apetite, sense of smell etc etc. He doesnt like the smell of his favourite shampoo, he doesnt like his favourite chicken sausages and biscuits.

I asked my Vet he tells me its just temporary illness due to heat. I dont know whats there to hide. However i posted this here because i could come to know from your experiences.


Thanks a ton,
Rahul
