It has anecdotally been linked to prolonged swimming in cold water, and one study has shown that swimming is a risk factor, although not a necessary precursor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Limber tail pain is focussed at the base of the tail. The dog is not able to wag or move it at all. Sometimes it hangs limply from the root, but it often sticks out a little way from the base, before drooping down. Affected dogs may be reluctant to sit down and clearly in pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cause\">Limber Tail Syndrome Causes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Limber tail suffering dogs have several things in common. The first is unaccustomed exercise. So for example, this condition is seen in working dogs that have just returned to work at the start of the shooting season. <a href=\"https:\/\/bvajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1136\/vr.103729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Working dogs are more susceptible to cold water tail <\/a>than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/english-labrador\/\">non-working dogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another contributory factor is confinement. Dogs that have be crated for example for a long journey appear to be more susceptible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Limber tail syndrome was previously assumed to be linked to spinal problems. However, dogs studied recently were found to have clear evidence of muscle damage. They also noted that all the dogs had a recent history of one or more of the following<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prolonged confinement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hard exercise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exposure to cold wet conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"prevent\">How To Avoid Cold Water Tail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be able to influence whether or not your dog experiences an attack of limber tail. For example, if you work or compete with your dog during certain seasons, you should help him build up to full fitness gradually, several weeks in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be especially important if your dog spends a lot of time retrieving in cold water. And it might be especially worthwhile if he has already had an attack in the past,&nbsp; though many dogs who experience cold water tail do so only once. You can also help him by treating each attack promptly when it occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"treat\">Limber Tail Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to do is get your dog to a vet without delay. Anti-inflammatories may be&nbsp;effective in reducing the length of the attack if administered in the <em>first 24 hours<\/em>. Not to mention the fact that it hurts! &nbsp;There&#8217;s no reason to keep your dog waiting for pain relief. Don&#8217;t give him human drugs, some are harmful to dogs, get your vet to prescribe the right medication<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to rule out other possible problems.&nbsp; This is because there are other, potentially more serious conditions, which can cause similar symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to recovery is rest.&nbsp; Your vet will probably advise this together with anti-inflammatory pain killers. Most dogs recover from the symptoms within a few days.&nbsp; Though it can take a week or more for full recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Limber tail syndrome goes by several rather descriptive names.
