my bitch had split hers open and we thought we could deal with it ourselves, but after getting re-whacked (she's a happy dog) a few times, bleeding just as bad and obviously sore, it was obvious it was not going to heal itself.

I am convinced that one thing that helped her was the shorter tail could not build up as much velocity, so even now when she whacks something hard, it isn't hitting as fast and hard as before. She has not had any problems since then.
