Sorry to hear that Henry has had such a difficult time. When Angel was spayed, we had to use the cone since her incision got infected and she wouldn't leave it alone. She had to wear it for 8 days and the heavy plastic combined with the heavy snaps weighed almost as much as she did. She didn't move around very much when the cone was on. Our vet also had her on pain meds the whole time, so I think this helped her be a little more inactive.
I don't have any idea on how to keep him away from his tail. It sounds like it really hurts him and that is why he keeps licking/biting at it. Hope he gets better real soon and you can put all this behind you.
