aussielover Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) My lab Mindy has large muscles in her hind legs which "stick out". They look like lumps but being bilaterally symmetrical I think they are just muscle enlargement (of the Biceps femoris). I am not sure if this is normal? She is very fit and otherwise healthy- she has shown no signs of limping or exercise intolerance. She does agility training weekly and receives around 3 hrs of exercise a day (combination of free running, swimming and leash walking)as well as extra training and play at home. I haven't seen any labs that have had this before. She has no other clinical signs. Edited June 21, 2011 by aussielover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 perhaps because she is FIT ..and does exercise which uses those muscles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkhe Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 That is one of the fittest looking labs I think I've ever seen.. I have nothing valid to suggest unfortunately, but to me her muscles don't look problematically big, just fit and healthy. That also seems like a lot of exercise, so I wouldn't think it's anything to really worry about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
