Got some witch hazel and gave it a quick go earlier, he didnt moan about being sprayed and it flushed some out so going to do it again later and give it a good go. Thanks alot

Luckily we're friends with the breeder and they came up to ours last night for a bbq and I bit the bullet and asked her how she did it before we had him. I didn't want to do this as I didn't want them to think we couldn't look after him properly. She got him and picked his tail up, as soon as she touched his tail he moaned but when she picked it up he didn't make a noise at all, apparently he doesn't like his bum being touched so what I thought was going to be a difficult life long challenge was shown to be pretty simple haha. Thank you everyone for your advice, its nice to know good advice is given pretty quick

Try to check that it is not infected. If he is liking it less and less all the time, it sounds like he is hurting. You could try lifting him on the table also. for some reason they are more calm on the table. Ear cleaners are also good for tail pocket cleaning.

Ye I thought it could be infected so started to worry that why I bit the bullet and asked the breeder who we got him from and when she lifted his tail up he didn't moan 1 bit and it wasn't sore, just need to keep an eye on him and do what she did

Tried both haha. I did it earlier before I came to work and he fell out with me, he just walked off and sulked haha. He's ok when wiping his tail and round his bum but as soon as you try to lift his tail up then that's when he doesn't like it

No its not their favorite thing.I use baby wipes for after potty.I use witch hazel for the tail pocket.Be very careful about this especially pulling the tail up because you can dislocate it or sprain it.Good luck

Last 2 night he's been absolutely fine so think weve nailed it, thanks again

He may have a sore under his tail. My 6 year old bully just had a nasty sore under his that we had no idea about. It was the first time we ever had any problems at all with his tail pocket. I find it best to do as another recommended, just sliding a wipe under the tail and not actually using your fingers. I think this aggravates them less. Just be sure to try and dry it as much as possibly because the damp, wetness can cause more problems.
