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’.

Daisy is the sweetest girl in Waterloo! Next to long walks at the doggy park, her favourite thing to do is sleep, especially in her owner's bed! Her favourite toy is by far her talking hockey puck ("he shoots...he scores!!!!), and her favourite snack is havarti cheese! She prefers to drink Brita filtered water, but if none is available toilet water will do! She is technically my boyfriend's dog, but I have completely fallen in love with this precious little girl and I secretly consider her to be my baby girl too!
