I came home once last year to find the tip of Zephyr's tail broken. It didn't break the skin, but he has a bump where it healed. I hope Beryl's heals fast.Hiking Houndshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364529045292356744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401043034682486843.post-4096135726283515312011-03-04T14:59:18.858+13:002011-03-04T14:59:18.858+13:00We gladly lend you our blog title!

It definitely fits. :)<br /><br />We have been lucky in that we haven't had one of our hounds end up with a case of happy tail, but it is a bugger to get it healed up! We had a foster who came to us with the tail already damaged. I'll just say that the one time he got the bandage off, our back hallway looked like a murder scene. That's a great first impression for guests to see when they arrive for your kick off to summer party! :P I have been told that wrapping the tail with hair curlers helps to protect it a lot and does help it heal. I've known a few hounds with docked tails, too. A friend of ours had a little black girl who ended up with a little Doberman tail and it looked rather cute once it healed. She had a lot of problems getting, um, female infections and once the tail was docked, she never had another one. I guess you have to look for the silver lining!<br /><br />Did you figure out how to get the blog to work for you?houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401043034682486843.post-47145719368194460062011-03-04T14:08:24.418+13:002011-03-04T14:08:24.418+13:00oh poor Beryl!

What a handsome fellow he is.<br /><br />I hope Beryls tail heals up quickly. I have heard of people using a tube of soft foam (like you'd use to put cables together) on a tail and taping it in place.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576612050864003090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401043034682486843.post-78339779764983974222011-03-04T06:06:15.473+13:002011-03-04T06:06:15.473+13:00Man, I never knew greys had such a hard time with ...Man, I never knew greys had such a hard time with their tails until I started reading grey blogs. Such a shame that "happy wags" lead to hurt tails!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197340334699196246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401043034682486843.post-24232429822786197852011-03-04T00:43:41.485+13:002011-03-04T00:43:41.485+13:00Poor Beryl with her happy tail.

It must be the velocity of the swing when she does wag it! <br /><br />Barbie's tail is so long it is only an inch off the ground when she walks around, and she whacks it on things quite a bit. I try to get her to move away from walls and furniture that she might hit it on, and luckily she hasn't really hurt her tail yet. She likes to hit Bender in the eyes with it when they greet me at the door.jethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306733879105775659noreply@blogger.com
