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’.

I could feel your pain,
yet you leaned against my arms,
Looking at me with courage,
Though exhausted but not yet giving up.
I sheded my tears when I made the heart-breaking decision,
I didn't want you to suffer anylonger.
I will miss and love ya always,
As you'll do.
I remember the sweet and hard days you had me commpanied,
Those tears and laughter are not to be forgotten.
I cherish all these in my heart.
And I'll keep talking to you,
though...you are not here anymore.
So I say a little prayer
And oh my Jesus take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again..MY LOVE
