  Is it possible your boy got rammed in the rear by another dog ? I have had it 
happen when A couple dogs have been out running the fence and one rams the 
other in rear sending the tail up like a husky and spraining it.  As long as it 
is not broken it should start to come back in a couple days.  If it is broken 
you have a problem.> From: pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: gailbauman1@xxxxxxx> CC:
