Limber tail in dogs – Pet tip 140
Limber Tail Syndrome (AKA cold tail, dead tail, broken wag) is quite common among some breeds of hunting dogs, such as Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Pointers, Setters, and Beagles. It is a condition in which the tail becomes limp and sometimes painful after exertion, particularly during inclement weather, swimming, or in an under-conditioned dog. It is a condition well-known to hunting dog owners and trainers, but not commonly seen by veterinarians. The syndrome is characterized by the swelling of the muscles at the base of the tail (the wagging muscles, which are also used heavily during swimming when the tail may serve as a rudder). These muscles are bound to the tail by a tight ring of connective tissue. As the muscles swell and expand, the connective tissue begins to serve as a tourniquet – cutting off normal blood flow.
When increased pressure within a confined space results in reduced blood flow, it is known as a ‘compartment syndrome’.

Hi my name is chloe. I am a playful dog that loves to run and play. I love to give kisses and cuddle. I like seeping with my mom(owner) and I absolutly hate it when she leaves me (ill pee on the mat by the door out of spite). I love to play with squeekers and chew on rawhide bones. I like playing with my mom and my dad. I love playing with my friends Cayleigh, Maggie, Keiko, and Cleo. My mom takes me to the dog park sometimes but I'm scared of the big and little dogs because i dont know them. Im also afraid of people I don't know.!!!!!!!!
