What's wrong with his tail? I don't know what's going on with Rusty, but he can't (won't?) put his tail up. He's wagging the tip of it, but he won't lift it up. He doesn't seem to be in any pain - he's not touching it at all, he's moving it a little, and he's not crying or anything. It's just down. He does it every time he gets a bath if you don't dry his tail well enough, but he hasn't had a bath so I don't know what's wrong with him. :confused: |
*bump* does anyone know? |
I don't know either Megan, but if he doesn't start acting normal I would get him to the vet....:) |
Could he have hurt when he was wagging it. |
Maybe his bum hurts? Could he have anal gland problems? Might wanna check for hard bumps in that area. |
thanks for the suggestions guys. He still has it down today, but it's up a little higher. He was running around in the backyard last night and everything. so I really don't think it's bothering him. Though it could be and he's just not showing it....He got hit by a car about 4 or 5 years ago, on his tail, and sometimes when the weather starts getting colder he puts it down. So maybe that's all it is? hm. |
Glad he seems better. Very possible the old injury is bothering him or he hit it against the wall. |
Did you go swimming with him, or did you do something he like very much like playing with a ball or something like that? Of course it could be from the old insurance but it could also be that he did more than his muscles could do at this area of the tail and then it is as if we would run a marathon although we didnīt train for it, do I think it hurting him after a great activity and because of this he doesnīt put it up. |
thanks again everyone. I got home from school and checked on him. and he has it almost all the way up now. Whatever it is that's wrong with him, it seems to be getting better. |
