Ah Ternaya....what a run you've had ....frozen tail is not fun.....I wonder if it's a bit like human injury and recurs because it's been weakened? A bit like my ankle after I ripped all the ligaments...I just need to go over on a flip flop now and it flares up.... You've got a really happy dog that just loves to wag her tail xxx
Thanks all Harley had a better nights sleep and seems a bit happier today. She has brought me a ball a few times and we have played a gentle game of catch (she sits about 2 foot in front of me, I throw her the ball, she catches and drops into my hand!), she loves playing this for some reason! My daughter has now finished uni so is back home and took Harley for a lead walk earlier Fingers crossed she is on the mend. The vet did say as she's had this twice before, she is probably more susceptible to it so we do need to keep an eye on it
Glad she seems to be improving gradually. It's a strange condition isn't it - is it inflammation of some sort?
Ah I'm glad she's seeming better,Dex loves catch ,it's an easy occupier isn't it? Must be lovely for you to have Orianna home,although I'm still in shock how fast her course has gone ....
Glad Harley is feeling a little better. You must be thrilled to have Orianna home, Grace has finished too but not back for a couple of weeks.
Oh heck Helen ,of course ,they both went off the same year ....all going to be a bit nerve wracking waiting for results ...good luck everyone x
Yes, it's inflammation at the base of the tail..........similar to muscle strain which then goes into spasm. We have more of a wag this morning The last 3 years have gone really quickly! Her graduation is on 12th July.......10 days after her 21st birthday. @charlie - must be quite strange for you.......one coming and one going. Where is Joseph going to uni?
Glad Harley is feeling a little better. Scott is also finishing up his 3rd year, but he still has another 2 to go! He is absolutely loving Uni and doing medicine and is totally determined to be a surgeon - just loves being in theatre That's boys for you! You both must be so proud of Orianna and Grace @Naya and @charlie xx (not to mention Joseph!)
I'm glad to hear that Harley is more comfortable. Always lovely when our children come home from uni.
So glad to hear Scott is enjoying his course so much, you must be brimming with pride Jac Good luck to him for the next 2 years x Very proud of Grace Very proud of Joseph, having High Functioning Autism he has fought his way through every stage, bless him He is going to Keele University to study BioChemistry, hopefully, all being well in his world Sorry Naya we have pinched your thread x
Our dogs (Ginger and Tilly) have had Cold Tail a few times after too much swimming. It never seemed to hurt them significantly and went away in less than a week. We try to keep them from swimming that much, but I think they are actually a marine mammal. Cooper has not experienced it yet. Cold tail without knowing the cause would be more concerning. I'm glad Harley is getting better.
I believe Lilly had a mild case following an examination - involving her lady bits and a temp check. Due to me holding her tail out the way possibly?? No one else was sure but I was convinced.
No problem Helen. Good to hear about them all Unfortunately Harley seems to not be so good today. She had 30 mins off lead (but no running around) just mooching and it seems to be a bit sore again tonight . Feel really sad for her
Oh poor Harley, I have no experience of this but it does sound horrible for the dogs, also for the owners too. Does it affect all the tail? Hope she is on the mend soon xxx
Poor girl, this sounds like such an awful condition and not something I have experience of. I hope she feels better soon.
