MerseyGrey Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I have a quick question, which I wish I could say I was asking for a friend. Poor Buds has got an upset tummy again, although this is the first time in three months so I’m guessing it’s something he’s snaffled on a walk without me noticing. It has resulted in a messy bottom and has necessitated use of a wet wipe (water based) to clean it up. The question: does anybody else’s dogs’ back legs buckle when they lift their tail up? Or am I the only one partaking in this glamorous task? Quote Buddy Molly 🌈 5/11/10-10/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 It may be more of a reflex since they often will squat when they lift their tail to defecate. Maybe picking up the tail makes him squat?

MerseyGrey Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Aaahhh, I hadn’t thought about it that way. It is quite comical to watch, almost like his tail is a lever. Poor boy Quote Buddy Molly 🌈 5/11/10-10/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveRoooooers Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Aiden often has a dirty bum that wet wipes take care of, and if his tail is lifted too quickly he also has the same reaction. Mind you, Aiden is 12 with multiple health issues but I've seen this in him prior to those, as well as in younger, healthier dogs. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers.

Jerilyn Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I haven't had to wipe Wiki's bum yet but Lila had that reaction. It seemed like a "hey, that's private, get out of there" reaction.
