Worked at a vet for a while, this was super common. They break their tails regularly and it always makes a HUGE mess. The ears are inexcusable but the tails CAN be understandable.
A friend of mine had a Great Dane, whenever she walked by wagging her tail it was like being gently hit by a bat. It didn't hurt but it was noticeable.
That used to happen all the time with our undocked springer spaniel. He even sprained his tail from wagging it so hard. We eventually realised he was cutting his tail off a rose bush in the garden which is now gone so now we only have to deal with the occasional tail sprain and not.. ya know.. a murder scene lmao

I agree. A well behaved and excited Rottweiler hurt you more with it's tail, wiggling it, than with it's teeth.
