You need a better vet who is actually interested in the dog's welfare. If you have no luck finding one who will take the issue seriously, then someone from the Working Spaniel Club is likely to be able to advise on a suitable Vet, as tail-splitting is becoming more common since docking was banned.

I use a plastic hair curler taped to tail,Protcsts but still lets air in to dry/heal

Wouldn't last through the first blackberry bush on any of my dogs.

look for Ollie and Fiona in vets in teawamutu or tekuiti Ollie is there somewhere..he is far and away the very best dog vet Ive ever had pleasure to deal with and hell of a nice guy...was our neighbour in Geraldine and I took my cocker over to him with thistles in his eyes,got told off for not taking him over to house night before...Nugget stood on table and ollie opened eyelids and plucked out all the crap,Nugget never even flinched,complete trust in vet..Meg my big black bitch is very wary of people and she too loved Ollie.if anyone else reading this finds out where they are practicing now,please let me know.
