What are the symptoms of cold tail?
On Friday I went snowshoeing with Bubba and afterwards he started acting strange, just was standing up and moving about the house a lot more than usual. It wasn't until the next day that I realized that he seemed to be in pain anytime he tried to sit down or lay down (if he was doing the lay down motion in the same way he would sit, if he goes like to superman sprawl then he seems okay). While he didn't vocalize any pain with yelps he would be very reluctant and groan a lot. We thought that maybe it was one of his back legs, but we rubbed all over his body and he seemed okay. He is totally fine to walk, run, etc. It is exclusively when sitting or laying that he is uncomfortable.
Is this cold tail? I know that is more commonly related to swimming, but it is super cold here (less than 15 degrees), and he was wading and sprinting and butt tucking thorugh some pretty deep snow which could have used his tail in a swimming motion.
