Hi fello kurkers
Last weekend on Sunday I took Ellie down to the river for the first time, and just like a typical lab she went in and had a wonderful time, but i remembered not to over do things as this was her first time. We got home and right up untill Monday lunch time she seemed fine until I noticed that her tail went all limp and was hanging down the back of her legs, I decided to keep an eye on it untill late Tuesday evening, when I looked in a labrador year book that I had and found an article,...yes you guessed right...... Limp tail syndrome..... this happens when a dog either gets wet, or damp and this is a sign of either shock or overdoing it with the tail, so I think more than likely Ellie strained hers and wet. :roll:
I breathed a sigh of relief at this and decided to give her rest, which is difficult for a lab and its tail, and a course of symphytum, a herbal remedy that I have heard about for helping healing. It is Thursday, and she is totally back to normal, and so is the tail.
