They sort of knot a bit as well.

soemtimes the curly drip lines are good for this, the tend to be a little thicker so won't kink if they are twisted.

I don't find this to be true. We use the curly lines for dogs in the walk in kennels but they twist and kink just as easily.

I also agree, although they will obviously stretch out quite a bit, I find that the coils tend to get tangled up really easily.

agree with previous poster and also use a swivel clip off the end of an old dog lead to suspend the fluid bag, it helps to stop the drip line getting so twisted the fuilds wont run.

We had a mastiff that used to do that. Running the drip line loosely up her leg then tying it on to her collar with a bit of coflex or bandage stopped it from happening. Obviously make sure there's still some wiggle room so it doesn't tug. It basically meant that when she spun round in circles, the giving set was up out of the way.
