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’.

Sage is a very cute dog! She loves playing with my other dog Scout and with us too. She is very strong and good at playing tug-o-war.
She is part rotweiler, we're not sure what she's mixed with though. She is going to be turning a year old on November 8th, 2003.
She grows very fast. She can't stand it when not everyone in our house is awake so she comes and scratches at our doors, and when someone get's up she gets very hyper. She has sharp teeth and can't help biting people.
