I wonder if the English Setters have a lower pain threshold than other breeds, or maybe there is another reason. Out of the 13 I had at one time it was only Leon and Fabey that had it more than twice, Bailey had it once, many years ago, and Bradley had it once last winter. All of them had to go to the vets for a fast acting injection, and take pain killers as it was that bad
I wouldn't dream of showing with it - we didn't go to agility last night - figured the tail is for balance so not worth it.
Maxy doesn't seem in any pain - I haven't tried to touch it - am keeping an eye on him though if he is uncomfortable wll get some painkillers for him.
