Limber tail syndrome, or acute caudal myopathy, is a disorder of the muscles in the tail, usually affecting working dogs.[1]
It is an injury occurring mostly in sporting or working dogs such as English Pointers, English Setters, Foxhounds, Beagles, and Labrador Retrievers. Limber tail syndrome[2] is also known as swimmer's tail, cold water tail, broken tail, dead tail, "happy tail" or broken wag.
