My dog is sick and the vets won't listen

[YoYo]

Could she have compacted Anal glands? They sit at the base of the tail on either side.....sometimes you have to squeeze them? I'm surprised the vet didn't try that one. Usually they get released when the doggy does poo....and it lets of a god awful smell....

Hope your pooch is OK xx

Yeah I had thought it may be that too, my old foxxy had that problem a couple of times. She checked around that area and didn't find anything, but maybe she didn't check right? We'll be keeping a close eye on him, making sure he poops. Thanks

Sometimes they can get infected too.... i think, so antibiotics will help.

He seems a bit better tonight, the pain meds must have kicked in We were thinking though, we bathed him yesterday and he shakes himself dry pretty violently, it really throws his tail around weird. Thinking now it may be that and he's kind bruised it a bit. Hopefully that's what it is anyway!

Got home from work to find him sprawled out on the couch on a blanket (he's never allowed on the couch) and DH squished in the corner lol. He sure is milking it!!

How is he KTee?

He's great now thanks Kazbah - personality wise he's back to his normal self He can lift his tail half way up now and he seems so happy just to be able to do that! It's wagging everywhere lol. Should be another week or so and the swelling will go down completely and he'll be completely fixed. Turns out it was a pulled muscle, poor guy

[Kazbah]

awww that's great. I know my lab would be devastated if she couldn't wag her tail - it's so much "her"!
