I had a foster once who had a serious case of "happy tail" just like your baby.  Like MstiffOverload said, we put ointment on it, then gauze, then cotton padding and taped all of that into place (have to put a little tape on the fur or the whole deal will fly off everytime he wags).  Then we would wrap the tail a little over 3/4's of the way up with vet wrap and tape the vet wrap into place in a random spot or two.  We did this twice a day for two or three weeks. 

My vet highly recommended amputation but we felt that would decrease his chances for adoption (he was a very large black dog so he wasn't number one on the adoption list to start with). 

Good luck - happy tail is one of those injuries that's a real challenge to heal up.

Poor baby!  Hope she's feeling better soon!

My girl would love that!  She played in the rain for hours yesterday!

Ursa has a friend staying over for a few days and he has to be the darkest Pyr I've ever seen.  We took pics of him next to Ursa so you could compare the two.  Have you ever seen one this sandy?  Please ignore the fact that they were playing in the rain!!!

Courtesy of Ike, it's raining here in North Texas - not pouring down thank goodness - and Ursa is loving it!  I've had plenty of dogs in my life but she's the first one that would willingly leave the covered porch in the rain.  She's out back right now just playing in the yard and happy as a lark.

Does anyone else have a water dog disguised as a Pyrenees?

What gorgeous dogs!
