<p>This happened to us only last week... it hadn't happened before and although I had heard of it, didn't connect the two. It happened to him the day after a bath... at first i thought that one of the visiting kids had done something to him!!</p>
<p>His tail was back to normal a couple of days later.</p>

<p>The first time I came across this was at a ringcraft class in the East End of London, years ago. People were trying to diagnose a limp tailed setter when a lady came in and in a very cockney accent said ' Eeeuw, cold wa'er towel'.</p>
<p>I spent the rest of the evening trying to work out if that was the cause or the cure!</p>

<p>Glad I found this discussion here. Yesterday, after a nice paddle and a good long rough and tumble on the beach with a Schnauzer followed by a shower with the garden hose Errol also succumbed to 'limber tail syndrome'... at least we hope that's what it is. He's doesn't like me touching his tail so I assume he is in some discomfort. Mind you, it didn't stop him from wanting to hump a Dogue de Bordeaux when we were out earlier... Will report back if in fact he has broken it or dislocated a…</p>

Thank you for the information - I've never thought about that. I will remember when I bath them. Happy to say - Anton is back to normal, with his tail up in the air.

<p>I never heard of this before a few days ago. I was watching video's on youtube on bathing and grooming irish setters.</p>
<p>The lady doing the bathing mentioned to never bath your dog the day of a show because of dead tail or limp tail, that you should do it at least one or two days before it. And how to be careful when washing the tail and not to allow water to rush under the dogs tail or butt area because it will cause it. First time I heard of it.

molly's tale is like a whip. I have never experienced this before with my other setters. It really hurts us when she gets excited and hits against us.
