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’.

My mom keeps telling me that I am the cutest puppy ever and I think that's gotten in my head a little. Mom and dad bought me from a breeder in Elora and I was a litter of 6 but all my brothers and sisters passed away shortly after we were born because they caught a bad bug....I made it, but sometimes am sad when I think about all my siblings....the lady who took care of me(I call her nana) she let me stay in the kitchen with her and then I met my parents who came to visit me a couple of times and brought me some toys. When they took me home I was a little scared at first becasue I was use to my nana but I soon became comfortable in my new home. I had so many toys and that kept me busy through the days.
I am spoiled wrotten but keep getting told that I'm worth it. I have a couple of beds so sometimes I sleep alone in the living room but most nights I sleep in the master bedroom with my parents. I love anything that makes noise and my favorite is the vacuum cleaner....when mom vacuums' on Sat morning I go balistic. I chase it but sometimes it chases me and then I run as fast as I can.
I love going for walks....I get so excited when mom gets my leash ...I sniff anything and everything and my mom sometimes yells at me but I know it's becasue she doesn't want me to eat anything that could make me sick...I use to do that allot when I first started going for walks.....I have allot of friends in the neghborhood but I do have a best bud....he's my uncle Brumas.....he's a little older then me and shows me the way sometimes.....I love when I get to go see him but I'm sad that he lives all the way in Barrie....I get tons of hugs and kisses when I go visit him and we play for hours...sometimes my uncle wants to take a nap cause we've played so much but I never let him cause I love him too much that I always want to play with him.
Thanks for taking a peak at me...I hope you enjoyed your visit.....send me any treats if you wish :)
