Long tailed dog injuring itself?

This large dog wags it's tail with such force it splatters blood everywhere! The vet says it is to old to remove tail..wrapping it hasn't worked. he eats it or it just comes off from the wagging..any help would be appreciated.

    Ask the vet for suggestions. First I heard of anything like this:D

    you might ask your vet for foam tissue cover ( it looks like a sheet of paper but it feels like foam and when placed to a bloody area it shrinks to the affected area and stops the bleeding) works well and you just cut it to the size of the wound. You also might want to give the dog a calming agent for a few days while it heals.
