cacky Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 My brindle has had this since we got him, five years. Is there such thing as tail rot. Seems right above the butt there is a spot that is dead. The vet is not concerned so what ever, the doggie don't mind, but we were wondering what it was??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Do you mean the spot is a few inches down from the base of the tail where it attaches to his butt? If you are seeing a patch of skin, nearly hairless, many greys have that and I believe it's a scent gland area.

cleptogrey Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 i believe that you are talking about stud tail, it's around 6" below the base of the tail where it connects/starts at the body. hormonal from what i have been told, nothing to worry about. please correct me if i am wrong, but check out links to stud tail on g/t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyTzu Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Yup, sounds like Stud Tail. It doesn't matter whether the dog is neutered or not. It's a scent gland that is located in the tail.
