ATTACH WITH TAPE AND POSITION SO THE END OF THE TAIL CAN BE EXPOSED TO THE AIR AND MEDICATED AS NECESSARY THROUGH THE SIDE.
INVALUABLE WHEN WAGGING IS PREVENTING HEALING
NB They won't withstand being wagged against hard surfaces repeatedly, so the dog does need to be supervised. In practice we also sometimes wrap the tip in vet wrap to reduce the concussive effect of excessive wagging.
Also you may need to trim the tail hair, as the splints are designed to fit around shaved tail ends, not fully furred. If in doubt measure the dog's tail.
