Nothing like a broken spirit

My dog literally could not wag his tail for about 20 of the last 24 hours.

And I don’t know if you know, but I’m kind of obsessed with my dog. I’d do anything for his cute face. So when something is not right in his world it pretty much turns into a nervous break down in our house. There is crying and yelling and snotting. I’ll let you guess which one of the two of us humans in our household act in that matter.

So when my dog suddenly could not move his tail (AT ALL), a little freak out happened. I mean, why can’t my dog move his tail? So I consulted Google, which told me he had one of the following conditions: cancer, wet tail, anus gland issues, a sprained tail, a broken tail or a paralyzed spine. OH. GOOD.

We waited until morning and then called the vet. I should note, we are like WAY OVER on Jack’s vaccinations so a phone call to the vet equaled a lot of pride swallowing. Twenty minutes later, we were dropping Jack off at the vet. Yep, you heard me correctly: We had to leave him there. I cried all the way home and pretty much until we got the phone call telling us not to worry. It was in fact his anal glands, which had to be expressed. (Hot, hey?) They sent him home with antibiotics and hopefully his tail will be fully moving around again soon.
