Dog has limp tail and vomiting. Is it serious? What about Deramaxx?

Question

I brought my dog Bella to the vet today because of 'Limp Tail' this weekend she swam in cold water, it looked like her tail was limp that night she threw up a couple times, vet thought the same thing, Limp Tail. They did blood test blood test was all good. He said he could give her a pain/anti-inflam, I had Deramaxx at home, he said give her half & gave her a quarter, meds were about a year old & soft, she been vomiting, will she be ok? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 years and 5 months old | 55 lbs

I would recommend stopping the Deramaxx if she is vomiting today as it can cause the side effect of stomach upset in some dogs. If Bella is still vomiting tomorrow I would recommend a recheck at your vet and if bloodwork was already performed and was normal would consider an x-ray of the abdomen. We don't usually see vomiting along with limber tail/limp tail so it is possible she has something else going on at the same time.
