Guest jt750 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I read on here that you do what your doing but get a piece of plastic pipe to fit over the end of the tail and tape it down so when it wags it hits the pipe ...i would imagine the pipe needs to be 8-10 inches long and the tail end is half way down the pipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Mine had to have staples in his and everytime he was wagging it was bleeding.So i bandaged his tail to his leg worked a treat no movement heals faster Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hannah4181 260 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've just had this with my bitch, i used some pipe insulating foam stuff about 6 inches over the end of the tail and secured quite tight with vet wrap . . . . . I personally wouldn't keep cleaning it, if its bleeding that much you want to keep it dry and allow it to scab heavily, water will just break down the granulating process and prolong the healing.
