Hi all ... probably haven't checked our Bella's tail for a while but when stroking her recently felt the end and there seems to be a kink in it, she also reacted as if it was painful (gentle growl and not happy) .... I guess it's the last inch or so, should we worry or as it's "attached" will it heal up or is it a visit to the vet ?
Many thanks for ANY help.
Roger

Of course it should be "Bent tail" ! sorry ...

Constantly wagging spaniel tails are pretty prone to injury, :lol2:, it‘s possible that Bella‘s knocked it or got it caught somewhere and may have even broken the bones on the end. I think you‘re really the only one who can decide whether a vet‘s visit is necessary or not, its very hard for anyone to advise without seeing her. If it was me, I would give the vet a call and ask what he/she thinks. I admit to being a little over cautious sometimes but if something is painful and the cause isn‘t obvious, I prefer to stay on the safe side.
Sorry not to be of more help, hope there‘s a happy end to the tale!! ;)
