This was just recommended to me by a volunteer at the shelter I teach at.....
Facilitator -Liquid Bandage, made by IDEXX Laboratories
Clean wound with Novalsan.
The treatment was Rx by vet who instructed to apply the Facilitator 2X/day after washing the wound with Nolvasan cleanser.

Andre has a tail that he must chew on at night or something. When he walks around the house he smacks it on stuff leaving blood trails everywhere he goes. Is this common with pit bulls? He has a tail like a weapon, I've got a few buises already...
Is this liquid bandage thing for something like that?

Is there anyway to train too overcome violent tail wagging?My dog (3 year old male)wags his tail with such force he has dented dishwashers fridges and even spilt a sealed beer can,Is their any method that I could employ to reduce the violence of his tail wagging?I really don't want to crop/bob his tail but at the same time I don't want to spend six or more hours a week cleaning blood off walls ceilings etc.If anyone could provide me with any viable suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Lol I feel your pain. It took me a year to get my dogs tail healed.Is yours in a crate still? I realized that Reeds tail was being "cut" on the wires of his crate. He is always so excited when we get home so anyway I decided to quit crating him during the day to see if It helped. It took a very long time, but he finally quit bleeding everywhere and now is fully healed. I tried everything prior to making the decision to not crate him. I ordered the "no chew" bandages from jeffers and I tried all kinds of powders to promote healing. Nothing worked until he was out of his crate for the day. He still wags his tail fiercely but no more blood Good Luck!

^ that's just it, with 'happy tail'~until you can remove the source, i.e. the objects the dog is hitting its tail against, it can be a l-o-n-g treatment/healing process. wraps, liquid bandages, etc are all only usually a temporary fix, until, again, the source is found. seen/treated a lot of cases at work. most reoccurred. and yes, it's common with this breed. grey hounds, as well, whose tails we always wrapped prior to boarding at our facility. not fun. good luck.
