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’.

Lola is hilarious!! and a mummy's girl. She loves to chase the kids and nip their toes, and will swing off waist ties if they dangle too low. she has the zoomies every night around the living room, flat out and doing hurdles over her toys. She has started to get used to the idea of a pee pad and uses it about 70% of the time, not bad for 4 weeks in. Lola sleeps in a puppy tent on the bedside table, and each morning about 6 she scratches her little black mesh door and I unzip her and out she pops to go for a pee. She is like a little fluffy teddy bear.
