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 to sleep on my owner's bed or find a cushion to cuddle up to.
I am very playful and energetic and love going to the beach and swimming
in the ocean. I enjoy chasing the seabirds - but I never seem to catch one - I
don't know what I'd do if I did. I dislike the neighbour's cats very much - they
keep intruding into my personal space.
I love my toys - I have a whole box full - but now I have to share them with the
two new additions to our family - Abby and Nonnie - but I don't mind all that
much really. I just love playing with "the girls" - we play great games of tag and
chase.
