I have always bathed my dogs with cold water in the cold and have never heard of this. I was really starting to wonder if I should continue to do it. I don't have a warm water hook up. -----Original Message----- From: carolynmckenna@xxxxxxxxx To: mlward@xxxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 9:12 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: limber tail Really have no idea what limber tail is, but if it's caused by bathing in cold water in cold temperatures, most of the dogs we see in the show ring would have limber tails. LOL I would surely seek another vet. Carolyn Mary Ward <mlward@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: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.
