If is tail is very swollen or painful, take him to the vet as it may be broken. Your vet can also prescribe pain medications for your dog.

It is important that you take your dog to your local veterinary surgeon so as to have it examined. This examination may require an x-ray to establish if the tail is broken as it is made up of several bones. If the tail is broken it may require amputation.

A dogs tail is an extension of their spine so it is best to have the vet check this out. If there are any small cuts they could become infected.
