Dog Sprains His Tail From ‘Excessively Wagging’ It Too Much During Quarantine
Most of us dread the fact that we are going to be stuck at home for weeks due to the quarantine or perhaps even longer. Social distancing has changed our way of life and we look forward to getting back to life as normal.
As humans, we may feel that way, but dogs have something else in mind. Perhaps we can gain some comfort by living vicariously through them. It seems that man’s best friend could not be happier that we are home with them every day.
Some dogs are so happy that they may even have problems. That can be seen with this wiener dog that sprained his tail after wagging it too much.
Emma Smith went on twitter to talk about her dog’s injury saying that the tail “stopped working” and the vet saying it happened due to “excessive wagging.”
So my dog has been so happy that everyone is home for quarantine, that his tail has stopped working, so we went to the vet and the vet said ‘he had sprained his tail from excessively wagging it’ 😂😂😭😭💔💔

You may be thinking that it was an exaggeration but in reality, it happens often. You can do a Google search for “Happy Dog Syndrome” to learn more.

After this post hit twitter, it received a lot of love. More than 500k people liked it and it was being reposted like crazy.
Since the post went mega-viral, Emma decided to give us some of the details. Her dog’s name is Rolo and he has been given pain pills until his tail returns to action again.
Didn’t expect this happen😂, for those asking, he is currently on pain relief and the vet said he should be healed within a week, this is him on the 2nd day. He is super happy and there is now movement from side to side but he is struggling to lift it up in the air. pic.twitter.com/dY0o96HOpj
