    tail injury? Advice please

    Hi all

    Cash was overly excited to greet me when I got home just now and as I was taking my coat off he was caught in it and was flung to the ground and landed on his tail end.  He yelped and ran around cryed for a minute and then returned to greet me again.  Now I never studied his tail this much before so only having him for less than three weeks time, it seems to not be upright like it was.  He wags it, lifted it to poop but, I am freaking out, near had a heart attack that I have hurt my baby.  He is playful and lets me touch it just fine, can it be just bruised?  Or am I just freaking out LOL.  Can they be permantely limpish?  It is moving but I thought he held it higher than what he is doing now.  Any advice please let me know ASAP.  My heart is just broken that I might have hurt him doing something as simple as taking off my coat. Our vet is closed and again he is acting just fine now.  But when it happened he had it between his legs and was crying.  I thought he hurt a leg at first but had his tail between his legs from fear.  Not even sure.  My son was yelling MOM pushed Cash.  Which isn't exactly how that sounds!   So the guilt hit me hard.   Thanks

     His tail may be a little sore but he will probably be back to normal tomorrow.

      I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt your feelings; kids love to tease. It was an accident; please don't blame yourself; (((((hugs)))))

    If it still seems to be bothering him tomorrow, I would take him to the vet to be sure. Hope he feels better.
