    Default Can a dog have a fracture on his tail and not show signs of pain?

    My dog, he's got a real curvy tail, it's long but today when I took him out side he didn't lift his tail. I can see as if something has squeezed it and if he stretches the tail does not go up. I told Brian "I think something is wrong with Richie's tail" he touched him and Richie doesn't move or anything, yelp or anything but he will wag his tail but it looks off to me.

    shall I post a picture?

    Animals can be very stoic when they are hurt. It's always the safe bet to take him to the vet just in case.

    I'll call in the AM, I thought it was nothing, maybe cause he was playing outside and his tail was down but nope, he does not lift it all the way up.

    If he isnt lifting it it could be some sort of nerve damage...I"d take him to the vet even if he doesnt seem to be in pain. You dont want it to get so bad he loses his tail if theres somethign wrong

    Almost always, if the pets start acting weird, a trip to the vet should happen before it gets posted about for the animals own good.

    My dog had what looked like a very small piece of string in her eye, we took her to the vet immediately and it turned out to be eye threatening. If we had caught it later she might have lost the eye.
    Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
    Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.

    Exactly, it can be damage to the spine even - as their tail is part of their vertebra. My dog had nerve damage in her spine when she got very old and her tail would only wag low.

    There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    Well his tail went all the way up. Guess he must of slept wrong or something and put his weight on his tail cause he was wagging and it's back to the way it was, huh, weird.
