Have moved this post to Staffy Health Issues.

What does the vet say ? I would pop along there first.

Please come and make an introduction when you get a mo:

As above I'd pop to the vet or give them a call. Did you do anything different last night or perhaps have a romp in the park with another dog?

Can you post a pic? Also moved your topic Xx

Sounds just what like my boy had, lumber tail its a swelling at the base of the tail causing the tail not being able to lift or wag very well. Its usually caused by getting very wet ie a bath or being in heavy rain. It should go within a few days if not pop along to the vets xx

thanks, yesterday it was throwing it down with rain at the coast, we did take jack out with us for a drink, and he did get wet though, lets hope its lumber tail xx

Sounds like it then, just give it a couple of days and try not get him wet just yet xx

How is Jacks tail now? xx

Have a look at the thread below, Meg had this and it cleared up in about a week. Hope this helps
