He had the injury issue at the tip of his tail when we adopted him. They said it was "kennel tail" but he would re-split the end every time it was walkies. The exit areas from the house looked like murder scenes with wagged blood spatter everywhere. He was also very protective of his rear when other dogs were about. Having the chop improved everything.

Poor lad! We had a Labrador when I was growing up that had to have her tail docked about halfway down like that. She used to get massively overexcited at meal times and wag her tail extremely vigorously, smashing it into anything that got in the way which led to multiple injuries and infections.
