Guest ss556 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) I can't pet or massage Alan near the base of his tail, he jumps. What could this be? It started yesterday and is worse today - he seems fine as long as you don't touch him there. Edited June 19, 2008 by ss556 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greytluv Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Have you checked it really good? It could be a sticker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ss556 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I was wondering if it had to do with the anal glands??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinM Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 That's where Teddy's pain is. With Teddy is't the C 4-5-6 disks which is why he is being treated. where are Alan's disk issues?

Guest ss556 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Original report from Holistic Vet indicated painful on back at T7, T12, L4. Now states he has some cervical issues (which are a little better) but don't know exactly where and mid back was "warm" on Monday. Maybe the tail base area is disc problem???

kudzu Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Makes me think of lumbosacral problems. If so, pressure in that area may hurt. Also, he may be reacting to anticipated pain. I hope that is not it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paulamariez Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I think I'd check the anal glands, because they can get impacted/infected and become really painful in the tail area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
