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’.

Heya my name is Koda. I am also called Toda Bear. I am a maltese. I am not as hyper as my sister zoe. She is crazy. I love my mom the best I like to sleep and cuddle with her the most. I am a very good boy. I have never peed on the floor B4. I tryand teach my sister that but she isn't as smart as me (hehehe) I don't like being left alone, unless they give me my favorite ball. I don't like being outside either..It's way too cold out there for me. But I have to go to bed know. Bye Bye
