Hi my 2 year old English Springer spaniel has not been able to wag his tail now for nearly 4 weeks?.
This is what has happened.
We frontlined him and he had a huge chemical burn appear on his neck from a reaction to the frontline!
We took him swimming to get the chemical of him and then took him to the vets.
Vets treated chemical burn with painkiller ( meta calm) and antibiotics for the burn as it was a horrendous mess.
The next day charlie ( our dog) was chasing a few chickens around the yard , my wife grabbed his bum to stop him chasing( not too hard but firmly).
She then put him in the car and came home.
As she returned home, Charlie yelped as he got out of the car and has not moved his tail properly since.
Our first thoughts were cold tail syndrome but he isn't in any pain as far as we can see and it's been a month now!
We have had blood work and X-rays done on his tail and all looks good.
My wife horse vet said it could be the neuro toxin in the frontline?, his personality did change after the burn and he was a different dog for 10 days or so but now he is back to normal except for his tail!
The dogs vet is pushing us to MRI scan him? I'm unsure about this as he has to have another anaesthetic for the scan and he takes 3 days to come around after
HELP PLEASE
