Default Tail clipped at 1 1/2 yrs old!! problems.

My friend has a one and a half yr old yorkie. She recently took her to be spayed. AGAINST my advice she also had her tail clipped. It's cut very close to her body, hardley no nub at all. It appears there was very little skin left to suture. The sutures popped the first day. The vet then gave her glue to use. It didn't hold either. I'm furious with my friend for this unnecessary thing that has caused this baby so much trouble. She called yesterday and said it's now wide open again and draining a lot. You can imagine my frustration because there was NO reason for her to do this to this poor dog. I can't tell you how many times I told her that tails are cute. She's not showing this dog, there's no reason to put her through it. Anyway, she's taking her back to vet tomorrow. Does anyone have any advice or experience with something like this. Should she put neosporin or bacitracin on it or leave it alone, she's heard both. People are so thoughtless sometimes!!
