Your veterinarian warns: this can happen to your dog.
March 27 2020
Emma Smith of Essex tweeted that the tail of her dachshund, Rollo, “stopped working” and had to be taken to the vet, who determined that the dog had stretched it out from excessive wiggling and would need pain relievers.
Emma added that the puppy will fully recover within a week, and the hearts of Twitter users melted at the news.
The owner shared photos and videos of the adorable puppy lying on his back and enjoying the caress: “He is very happy, already moving his tail from side to side and struggling to lift it up.”
Users loved the story so much that it quickly went viral, and Emma’s initial tweet garnered over 140 retweets and over a million likes.
People felt that this story was as touching and sad as it was funny.
“It hurts my heart,” one wrote. And another added, “So many dogs will be upset when the quarantine is over.”
“I saw this story this morning and laughed so hard that my husband stopped doing what he was doing and looked at me,” writes one woman. – Every time I tried to speak, I laughed even harder, and all I could squeeze out was: “This is so sad” … He nodded his head and said: “Yes, I agree …”
The vet promised that Rollo would start wagging his tail again soon. Well, his family will continue to stay at home while 66 million Britons live in isolation from the coronavirus: Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered the immediate closure of all stores except grocery stores, and threatened people with fines or even arrest if they did not “stay at home” …
“There is a lot of news and jokes about dogs in connection with the coronavirus on the Internet. For example, that dogs wonder why all people are muzzled. Or dogs in Italy are already tired of walking, because this is now the only way for Italians to go out. I read that one dog is used for this purpose by an entire entrance or even a house. They all take turns walking. I heard that the prices for dogs there have grown at least twice.
As for the message about this dachshund, it seems to be true, as they are constantly wagging their tails. They have it thin, and in England, as a rule, rather small apartments, and they can hurt anything. And, accordingly, they hit. This is completely natural and happens quite often.
With other breeds of dogs, such a nuisance can also occur. If this happens to your pet, please do not self-medicate: contact your veterinarian without delay. By the way, there is another funny riddle on this score. Why do northern peoples have cats without tails? Then, so that they would enter the house as soon as possible, which means that the door would close behind them faster, keeping the warmth inside. “
