Hi Mary, Curious, what were the symptoms that led the owner to bring the dog to the vet for this? Laura Thomas -----Original Message----- From: mlward@xxxxxxxxxx To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, 17 Apr 2007 8:35 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] limber tail Has any body heard of or had any experience with 'limber tail'? Good friend and longtime German Shepherd Dog owner took her 5 yr old male to the vet and this is the diagnosis. Vet prescribed rimadyl for treatment said it should go away in week or 2. Possibly caused by bathing in cold water when weather temperature not warm enough.
