Considering how many dogs use their tails as lethal weapons (my two can knock a knee cap off if you're not careful, and I sometimes wonder that they haven't blinded each other with regular Whap! Whap! Whap!s across the face), you probably need to give that as much time to heal as possible before removing the bandage and giving it full range of motion. I'm sure yours is a happy dog who would flail you black and blue, given half a chance and a healthy tail! ;-D
