Has any one else had this issue with their dog and their taill?

I hope all is fine now with your dog. That usually happens when they get overexcited and bump their tails around.

I would have his anal glands checked out. Sometimes they will tuck the tail if the glands are clogged a bit. Be careful giving baby aspirin to your dog. I know your vet prescribed it, but I have seen bleeding ulcers from that, as well as the doggie nsaids. They should always be given on a full stomach.

In all my years working with a vet, I've never seen a "sprained tail." I have seen "happy tail," which is a wound on the tail from hitting the kennel -- a wound that keeps bleeding and won't heal. But I have seen a ton of dogs carrying the tail funny when the anal glands were in need of expression.

Mystic what a wonderful vet you have got you can phone him and explain the symptoms and then he tells you what is wrong with the dog's tail? He then prescribes aspirins which is not normally allowed for animals. Who is this vet as I want him for my pets, every time I phone the vets I get 'bring the dog/cat in' that way it's more money.

It could be a sprain or a bleed underneath the skin where your dog might have banged his tail dogs that slink with their tails between their legs are normally not feeling to good or are cowed down, I don't see you as a bad owner but I would take my dog to the vets if he behaved in this fashion.

Yes, both of my bull terriers have had it. In their crates they bang their tail when they wag it. Happens at Dog Shows also, dogs get excited. Tail will be fine.

Yes, it could be from wagging his tail and hitting something hard with it. My puppy has a broken tail and it's crooked and swollen at the end. This happened when she wagged her tail and hit her crate too hard. He'll be just fine though! Happy healing :)

If it was fine last night then could be have been bitten be something like a Brown Recluse Spider?

Hope he's OK.
