Holy crap I had never even thought of that! Wonder if i ever did that to Banks??? hers was so tight and she did what you describe of Blue a few times --- thanks for the info and I hope Blue is better soon... kind of like us bruising the tail bone in our arse !

Ohh no! I hope that's not what happens to Barkley!! His is very tight and I always gets under there good when I wipe him. He always acts like he loves it and whenever I say "let's clean your butt!" He runs over and turns his butt to me and sticks his tongue in and out while I clean it haha but then when I'm done sometimes he will scurry away and put his butt down fast on the floor in a corner....sometimes he will turn and start licking towards it too. I'll have to start being more gentle with him from now on!!

He's been on Rimadyl since Thursday night and there hasn't been a change. He still doesn't want us to touch it.
Chris had doubts about her diagnosis and I don't know what to think anymore.

frank let me get back under his tail about 3-4 days after I was told I sprained it. I was doubtful of the diagnoses too... when he did let me clean him I still had to go very slow and tempt him with a high value treat. he would tuck his butt down the first few times and try to get away, but would no longer snap at me. after about 2-3 days of butt tucking, he was fine and would allow me to do it normally.

hoping you get to the bottom of this soon.

Monty's pocket was very deep (with a tight screw tail) and hard to clean properly which was why his vet suggested the surgery. i have to say it is 100% better now, doesn't get gunky at all and he didn't have to have his tail amputated, just the very tip. Well worth it. Now, if I could just get his hair to grow back we would be in great shape!!
