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. The brain can shift across such structures as the falx cerebri, the tentorium cerebelli, and even through the foramen magnum.

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.
