Many people are used to seeing their dog's tail always erect and agile, moving energetically from one side to the other, so seeing it crouched or leaving can be impressive and even worrying. It is very important that you keep in mind that in most cases, this is due to a syndrome called, Cold tail syndrome, or split tail. It does not mean that the tail has literally split, that is, fractured, since symptoms of pain and discomfort should be shown, and on the contrary these do not occur.
Cold tail, Limber tail syndrome, or Cold tail, It is a problem that usually affects breeds such as Labradors, Beagles, English Setters, Pointers, or any other breed of working dog. It is directly related to an exaggerated physical effort or to the humidity of the water and the cold. The exact internal causes are not really known, but it is known that the queue can appear at any moment in the game.
This syndrome is a muscle disorder or a kind of cramp that makes the tail fall vertically a few centimeters from its birth. To treat this small problem, it only takes a little rest for a few days, applying warm cloth compresses to speed up the recovery process, and in many cases the administration of anti-inflammatories.
Keep in mind that all this must be recommended by a veterinarian, we give you the guidelines but it must be the specialist who is attentive to the health of your animal.
