The dog did get to keep her tail, but she wasn't having problems with infection, either. Is it breaking open even when securely bandaged? It sounds a bit extreme, but would constant bandages with a cone (if needed) and a lot of crate rest be an option?

You said there was a lot of evidence of tail injury in those dogs who kept their tails-I wish I had asked you to expand on this point. It seemed to me a silly ...

If the tail seems painful in any way, a vet visit would be necessary as this would indicate an injury that will need treatment. If your dog does not react to the palpating of her tail, it very well may be "Cold Tail", as this is not a painful ailment.

Chances are if you frequent the outdoors with your Labrador Retriever, you may already be familiar with a condition called "limber tail". After a vigorous day of hunting, you notice your dog's tail hanging limply as though it might be broken.
