Guest cjsgreys Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) If you end up having to amputate, make sure the vet takes at least 5-6". We have a foster that came with happy tail and the vet only took 2 joints. The poor boy is keeping the bandage on but everytime we think it's healed and take the bandage off, he wags his tail and opens it up again. He may have to have more surgery to remove more of the tail. Edited April 2, 2009 by cjsgreys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PKillian Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 There is a new product to help with Happy Tail. I don't know if I can post links here but you can find it by searching for "Tail-Bandit". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliemac Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 have you tried it? Is it difficult to hook on /remove for potty walks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teri_d Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Our ronee had happy tail -- we tried everything - -and I mean everything before resorting to an amp that made her tail "knee length instead of ankle length" as our vet described it. I have always said I hoped the police never had to come to the house -- if they got out the luminal light they would lock me up before they discovered all the cleaned up blood was canine - it goes everywhere doesn't it???

I don't know if I can post links here but you can find it by searching for "Tail-Bandit". https://tail-bandit.com/ I didn't notice anything on their Web site about it being medically tested or recommended by veterinarians. If it works safely and the plastics are free of damaging chemicals seeping into the wound, might be a good option. This thread is 7 years old. Fortunately our hounds' happy tail wounds have healed well without anyone losing their tail.
