Dead Tail, Limber Tail, Swimmers Tail, Cold Tail

It can happen when dogs are exposed to water, hot or cold, whether being shampood or whilst swimming.

Christine Zink has a theory that it is due to the dog shaking himself dry.

It spontaneously recovers after a few days in 99.99% of cases.

None of my dogs have ever suffered from it despite being regular swimmers, and I know many exhibitors are very careful not to shampoo some dogs too close to a show for this very reason.

Yeah, I hadn't heard of it till I came on here and asked, I was glad I did cause I was quite worried. Now it's back to it's normal curly whippy state.

mine of information this place is! Something else I've never heard of and that none of my dogs has ever suffered from.
