  • Put the picture plz!! I wanna see the TAIL!! lol
  • im pretty good with dogs can i see this picture?
  • It doesn't seem like it hurts her...She's a beagle, if that helps. She was born in a litter of seven to a very small beagle...
  • I had a dog like that...she lived 14 years and never had a problem with her tail. It wouldn't hurt to have her checked out by a vet but it's probably not anything to worry about.
  • Possibly when turning corners.
  • My small dog also had a bend in her tail,I thought it might have gotten broken when she was little but later it raised up as a bump kinda like a filled blister the vet said it was just a small sist but nothing bad and many dogs have them and you just have them drained,,just keep an eye on it, put your mind at ease I am sure it is nothing to worry about.
  • It's possible that it could be a cyst...but I sort of doubt it. Has your vet never mentioned it?? It may have been stepped on or shut in a door, hard to guess! I suppose that if her bloodlines are not all they should be it could be a genetic trait. If she is happy and healthy in all ways...I would not expect this to trouble her. But, my motto is Safety first, and the next time you have her to the Vet, I would bring it up, just in case it is some type of cyst. Such a lovely, loving breed...I'll bet she is a sweetie and you had a time getting the photo shot without her breaking into a wag just because you were THERE! lol
  • Bent tails are most often a genetic defect, so please prevent her from breeding. I have seen the name of the defect online, but it takes a LOT of searching to find it. Can also be associated with back problems.
  • Hello...I just got my beagle pup he is 8 weeks old and has the same exact tail ..bent just at the very tip..did you ever find out anything about it? I will be taking him Vet soon just wanted to know if you found anything out.
  • We had a male beagle that had several puppies with bent tails. I researched it, and found a name for a genetic characteristic that caused it. It sounded like problems with the gene were rare, but we neutered him anyway. We also contacted the people that had raised him to let them know, because they were breeding his sire and dam still. They said they had had some bent tails, but they were still breeding. If my memory serves me right, I found that in a few breeds, the genetic trait is desired because it also produces shorter tails than normal. Whatever breeds they were are breeds that have mid-length tails and they like the trait because they don't have to crop the tails. Since then, I have tried to again find the name of this, and can't. But I do remember that it is a trait found in several breeds, including beagles.
