Can someone tell me from these pics, if this is wry tail?

 

[robin416]

Yes it is. And this is one of those things that will get passed on. I know because I just have to test stuff like that.

I never heard of wry tail...what is it??

 

[Debbi]

A tail that is held to one side or the other, instead of straight.

Thanks! So it is genetic then???
I have a girl identical to the one in the picture that had developed wry neck after or really during an impacted crop problem. I am hoping she pulls through it. I am treating with the vitamins and also metacam. Hoping one of them will work!
