Strange Tail
I'm in the process of buying a puppy. At 3 weeks old everything looked fine. Now, at 6 weeks, the puppy's tail is limp and is not growing at the same rate as the others. It is shorter and it is cocked slightly to the right near the base but limp throughout.
My first thought was a possible kink tail but it doesn't look like that is what it is. Behaviourally, he fits in well with his litter mates and acts like a normal puppy would. Breed: Siberian Husky Age: 5.5 weeks Sex: Male See photo here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericacl...in/photostream Just wondering if anyone has seen something like this before and if it is something serious? Thanks in advance! |

It would be interesting to see the other pups tails just for comparison. That said, I recently brought home an Alaskan Malamute. Actually two. They are about three and a half months now and while the female's tail is fully curled and over her back most of the time, the male often has his tail down. Sometimes it's up, sometimes it's just sorta hanging there. Does this puppy ever raise his tail?

Would you be able to have a vet check the puppy out to made sure there is nothing else wrong with him? How does his hips and rear end look to you, can he walk OK ?

The breeders are taking him to the vet to get a look over and his first round of needles so I would know then. He walks and plays around just like the other puppies so it doesn't seem to be affecting him too much It's just a bit of a concern right now and I was wondering if anyone has seen something like it. Google searches haven't proven to be too helpful. |

Did your dog Marty show signs of trick knees when he was a puppy? |

The breeder said that he hasn't raised his tail yet. He is the runt though so I'm wondering if he is a bit behind Last edited by hazelrunpack; March 18th, 2013 at 06:25 PM. Reason: Fixed picture link |
