I have an 11 week old puppy Boston with screw tail, he unfortunately seems to have got the short straw. We are now considering the surgery route. He falls over if you touch his back end, if he turns a certain way he falls, and he really wobbles when he walks. If he loses his footing he’s at risk of falling and rolling down a grass verge. My mistake was not taking him on but believing the breeders and their lies when I bough the him.

Hi,
Definitely see a small breed surgical specialist . Our Frenchie who is now 2 yrs old suffered from cork screw tail. As he got older and within 4 months it suddenly got very painful and difficult for him to poo. He has now had the surgery to fix his ongoing health issues . Look for , always scooting bottom on the ground (no it’s not worms ), really bad wind due to the ingrown tail kinking the bowel, trouble pooing , and always getting infections , which start from the bottom but transfer to their feet and eyes , as the dog will lick the areas and reinfect . Also impacted anal glands which can lead to a prolapsed anus. Definitely get the surgery done sooner rather than later. As the problem only gets worse . I wish I had known sooner that this was the problem . But as it occurs internal and creates deep folds this serious condition can go undetected .

You need to go to the vet. Just brought my 3 yo pug/olde English in and he showed me how irritated and infected the area has become. I now have anti inflammatory by pill and an antibiotic cream

I just purchased a rescue Frenchie, she is doing the same as your dog. Scooting on the floor and it seems to be itching her. I looked to see what is wrong and it seems that her tail is very red and irritated. What do I do? I cleaned the area and out neosporn on it but what else do I do??? Help please!
