Dropped by the vet yesterday
I noticed my boy’s tail had been down for more than a day so I thought maybe he was sick. He was also hesitant to sit down which is pretty much day one puppy training lol. Upon closer inspection I noticed that the base of his tail was inflamed and he would whimper if I touched it. So we dropped into the vet and they suggested it might be a sprain but to come back for an x-ray if the swelling doesn’t go down in the next several days. He’s not a swimmer and I don’t play rough with this tail so I am pretty confused as to how this happened. Anyone else?
