fyi on cold tail
Shoulda posted this here at the same time I posted it to rpd.health:
Orson has cold tail for the first time. It's sad to see him so lethargic, biting at his tail, and especially so since I believe the cause of his condition is that I worked him too hard in the water. But the purpose of my post is something else. I googled on cold tail when I suspected that's what he had, and I saw lots and lots of posts from people who assume cold tail is from cold water. (Especially a lot of posts, for some reason, about people vowing never to take their labs swimming in the Pacific again.) But this is late May in Baltimore, where we've had highs in the mid- to upper-80s for several weeks. The water temp in the Chesapeake Bay, where he was swimming, has got to be at least 68. Nothing like swimming in upstate New York in January, which he used to do routinely (and which never gave him cold tail). IOW, the water doesn't have to be cold for a dog to get cold tail. Just thought I might be able to enlighten others on something I didn't know. Cate |

When Cubbe got it, she'd spent the day in the yard in a coldish drizzle, didn't even get fully wet just thoroughly damp. Her only symptom was an unfurled tail, no lethargy at all so I didn't take her to the vet for a proper diagnosis. She healed up, or rather curled back up, in 3 days. --Lia |

His being mopey could be due to the extra intense workout. She healed up, or rather curled back up, in 3 days. Good to know. Cate |
