Tail Injuries In Dogs Veterinary Hospital Philadelphia

Sometimes when a dog repeatedly wags their tail against a hard substance like a wall or a crate, a wound can form on the very end of the tail. The condition occurs from repetitive trauma to the tip of the tail. You know how your Dog’s Tail wags uncontrollably when you come home from work or you ask them if they would like to go to the P-A-R-K. While this expression of joy and happiness is a sign that your pet is happy, it can also lead to a difficult and painful condition called “Happy Tail”. “Limber Tail” is a term used to describe a different condition in dogs. Limber Tail occurs after vigorous or strenuous exercise, often associated with swimming.
