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 love my Mummy and my sister Nellie (Cat).
I like to hide people's socks.
My sister's live on a farm and they look feral. LOL I'm the only cute one! (And I have no idea where my brothers are)
I love to go for walkie's with my mummy and sook if she goes without me.
I love when my cousin Lela comes to visit me. We play for hours!
I don't like to eat dry dog food. Cat food is fine though.
I don't like it when other dogs don't bark at me, I bark at them so they will bark back at me.
