It's definitely not normal. How long have you had her? Has she been exposed to any trauma? I think I would have a vet check it out and make sure there is no physical problem or injury. Besides that, it could be a sign of anxiety. My little rescue Ralphie often had his tail down in the early months, it was a good indicator of how much anxiety he was feeling. Glad to report, his tail is always up now a year later! I remember one show with Cesar where he made a thing that held the dog's tail up while he walked. He was a very anxious walker and Cesar believed that putting the tail up would change the dog's mind set. Anyway, it worked and after lots of practice the dog started walking with its tail up. If the vet says there is no physical trauma that causes it, I would look to ways to build his confidence, and training and walking can both help with that. |
