Brain herniation. Brain herniation is a potentially deadly side effect of very high pressure within the skull that occurs when a part of the brain is squeezed across structures within the skull.

How Big Do Labs Get. Labrador Retrievers typically grow up to 24 inches. Male Labradors are bigger than female Labradors. Generally, a non-overweight female Labrador will be between 21.5-23.5 inches and weigh between 55-70 pounds. A full-grown, non-overweight male Labrador will be 22.5-24 inches and weigh between 65-80 pounds. But diet can greatly impact how big a Lab can get.
How much should a Labrador retriever weigh? The American Kennel Club states that a standard fully grown adult male Lab stands 22 1/2 to 24 1/2 inches tall and weighs between 65 and 80 pounds. Female Labs grow to 21 1/2 to 23 1/2 inches tall and weigh between 55 and 70 pounds. Lab puppies need good nutrition for proper growth. Underfed puppies don't grow as well as those that are well fed, and a serious illness can stunt a puppy's growth.
