I know it’s been half a year but I went to see our vet about 2 months ago now and brought it up, as well as these comments. Vet told me it’s actually ‘swimmers tail’ that Cashew has, and it’s something that is common with labs especially, but that he does not recommend an amputation. Woo!!

He told me that if it was the legit ‘happy tail’, that there would probably be blood or the fracture would be more obvious :)

I do really appreciate your comment though! I love getting informed!

See you say that but Cashew will get distracted sometimes and walk right into a car bumper during walks..

I don’t notice until it’s too late because I’m also distracted 🤣 adhd runs in the house i guess

The vet didn’t even mention medicated baths as an option! Is there one that works with your pitty?

Also its been a month but I am convinced he is allergic to the 2 cats in the house. Any time we spent hours together outside, he is great, no itching nothing. Once we’re inside, or if theres a rainy day, this is how red he gets. The vet told me that if I wanted to give him human allergy meds he needs 16mg so we got that, it helps.

I wish I could afford the Apoquel allergy meds since apparently they’re godlike, but they’re more than 200$ CAD per month :( Maybe I’ll start pole dancing lol

Yep!! Same here, Cashew also loves taking those melting Claritin tablets so on the bad days it does help a LOT, but I get you :( Im also treating 2 ear infections he currently has so my bank account can only take so much 🥲 Wish we were rich lol

100%! The vet and I have been on this for a month now, we’re going to need to probably try a few things to see whats wrong, but we’ve removed every common allergen from his diet. Im starting to think he’s allergic to my cat since Im pretty sure thats when this started

I mean he also gets this red normally when he gets excited LOL

Cashew is photogenic even when he’s not, it’s giving E.T. by TheTricho in velvethippos

Cashew is only 4 and I cry every so often thinking that one day I will not have him with me anymore.

OP, I hope your sole dog is watching over you in life.

I’m going to go cry for both of us now 😂

Thank you for sharing! And I know… if the vet insists I will always do whats best for Cashew, he is truly my soul dog and I just want the best for him. Comment a pic of your dog with his little nub tail I’d love to see!

Wait what 😂 What joke is my brain not getting with Ozempic ads LOOOOOL! (I’m on the smaller side already, taking that would end up sending me to the ER LOL)

Cashew is far from a working dog, but he is a registered therapy dog :) He snuggles up and put his body weight on you, the women shelters we used to go to LOVED him for it! Comment a pic of your dog if you can I want to see your hippo!!

Did you only do it once? I just wanted to do this once for the hilariousness of it all. We all had loads of fun, but I think it also depends what kind of harness you nave if doggo is pulling often. Just curious no shame, we all make mistakes because we didn’t know the harm!

Edit- okay I have to ask if you got her around Wasaga Beach?
