Dog's Tail isnt looking good
 

She woke me up about 2am the other night whining and crying i couldnt figure out what it was until i picked her up to put her on my bed and touched her tail. She finally just went to sleep but the next morning her tail was swollen and limp. 2 days later its still swollen at the base and just kind of hangs there. When she gets excited it will stand up and wag but only when i get her extremely wired up. She can feel all the way down it so its not numb, just swollen and limp. It hurts her for sure bc when you try and touch it she tucks it but doesnt hurt bad enough to where she will scream when you grab it.

Any ideas? If someone can shed some advice that would keep me out of the vet's expensive company it would be much appreciated, but if it aint better by tomorrow ima bite the bullet and bring her.

May be some type of infection.......better bring her to the Vet.

The dog also might have gotten it caught or something fell on it or maybe even bit. It just might be sore for a couple of days but i would take her to the vet just to be sure.

its not worth taking a chance thats for sure...at least my opinion, too much love for my dog for him to be in pain any more than he has to

you cant blame it on my pond, because i swam in it with ladi monday,

i felt bad for her after that, that water was freezing

was there drinking or drugs involved because i'm not getting in no water till about may unless it is heated

with yak'em you never know, crazy coona*s

well the football got thrown in, and we wanted to play.


and there may have been some girls involved lol

speaking of girls involved, you use them digits or punk out?

Dude, you're supposed to make the girls jump in, not jump in by yourself!

My friends dog had the same problem, when they took her to the vet they found a very thin monafilament tide around it. it had grown into the skin were it couldn't be seen.

$%#@ Thats where i went wrong. Dangit

And yes redneck, i got dem digits, we went out and watched blindside and then hung out at my place for a while.


And she wants me to cook for her......DONE DEAL haha

were in class together today, gotta love those 1000 level classes when your a senior

lol I used to go to a Biology class just because of the chick I would sit next to. There was always 2 guys with her, 1 was her cousin and he was cool but the other dude was the cousins friend and he was interested in her but she would ignore him and talk to me before/during/after class. That dude hated me with a passion, he ended up dropping the class :*****:

haha, i hang out with this girl alot, and her bf hates it, he tries to act all tough, but it makes him feel awkward not me

Ok, I think we hijacked soggy's thread enough, back to the dog lol

on the way to the vet now

yak'em thats my nugah, knew you was a lady's man son.

Tell that chicks boy friend that me and you had a field day and piihb...see what he says bout that

i was about to say the same. Just cut her tail off then it wouldnt be a problem? haha


Id check for any scars or open wounds around the tail

way ahead of you, we gonna see what the doc says, hopefully they wont cut it off, she wont have a good rudder after that.

She get hauled or stored in a smaller than normal kennel lately? Mine broke her tail in her travel kennel when she was a puppy. Was fine after a few days but since then it's bent in like the first few sections and doesn't bother her. Swims in circles, though.

That last part ain't true.

lol I was like ***? :*****:

let us know what happened.

Cold water tail. Nothing can really be done. She'll recover in time.

so thats were all the ducks are... you've got a heated pond eh

That's what I'm thinking. She'll get over it. Keep us posted.

Cracker

i see you live in baton rouge bring it to azalea lake vet clinic on jefferson between antioch and tigerbend . my wife works up there they are great and inexpensivw

At base of tail could also be an anal problem.......get it looked at right away!

Ok guys, just got out of class. Doc says it's broken still a mystery of how it happened but we know what it is atleast. Told me there isn't anything to do other than give her meds for the pain and swelling. Said it will heal it's self, still hurts her but it will hopefully heal straight.
