Sounds like your drywall is going to be a haven for mold and bacteria. Could cause respiratory problems in time.

Is the Lab a new addition as well? If both baby and lab are new additions it will for sure make your boxer have his nose out of joint for sure. Even if it is just the new baby and the Lab has been in the picture for sometime like a few years...then it is because he is not getting the same attention he used to because of the baby. You need to make sure you try and incorporate the same things and actions you did with him before the baby came along. I am sure he is trying to tell you he is not happy. Even if it is poo and pee (unwanted behavior) he gets the attention that way which you don't want but to him it is better than no attention at all. Make sure you set some boxer time alone for him special. I think in a while you will find his attitude goes back to his old self. Let's hope so. Dogs can get depressed.

The chemicals in the urine on the wall could definitely give you respiratory problems over a long period of time. I wouldn't spend too much time there, but, personally...I wouldn't be able to stand it anyway. Especially long enough to inhale the stuff.

You can get sick if your one of those people that see something nasty and get nausea... You can go put the dog out in the backyard. If that doesn't work, go to http://leerburg.com/housebrk.htm . I saw that it has a movie on house training dogs. And if your still feeling like your about to be sick, give that doc of yours a call.

There are some zoonotic diseases spread through feces. Personally, that would disgust me and I wouldn't be able to be in a house that filthy. Sounds absolutely repulsive!
Here are some diseases that can be passed from animals to humans, although not all of them are from coming in contact with infected feces.
