make sure there's no sharp edges in your kennels because mine were bleeding in the kennel and figured out it was a sharp edge on there dog house causing it...when they get excited and waged there tails, it would hit the sharp edge and bust open.

Get some Tuff Foot or Pad Coat and put on his tail.
It will toughen the skin and heal the wound at the same time.
Put a little on every week ot two after it heals, should help a bunch., won't make the hair grow back though.

Mine must really love his job his trail bleeds everynight we go haha.

bloody tails

I have had good luck using antibacterial Blue Lotion, the liquid more so than the aerosol.

I had some beagles that would come out of the brush and looked like there whole body had been dipped in a bucket of blood. Tails would be pouring blood. And yep they really loved there job. Blue lotion works great.

Thanx for the info guys! He busts it open at night...the kennel crossed my mind...but i check during the day and it is fine...after a tree hes bleeding....nothing major...y'all know what i am talkin about....not dripping blood or anything...

I will try some of the products mentioned just for his comfort and well being.....

He loves his jobs and for turning a year old thursday, he trees good n hard! Real happy with him so far...just gotta cross my fingers my buddy keeps him for 5 months while i am workibg out of state! If not someone on here will end up with a nice youngun....i am thinking my buddy is gunna keep him though...due to leave in 3 weeks or so and he hasnt said anything yet...
