Oh awesome, I'll give the dish washing liquid a go, then the hand degreaser. Hopefully that works

Stud tail is when the glands at the base of the tail produce sebum (like feline acne) and it makes a patch really oily/greasy. All the hair gets greasy and in some cases it can cause blackheads, hairloss and infection. It's not nice.

If you do have to resort to the hand cleaner then put that on first while the tail is dry give it a few minutes to start working then put the washing up liquid on leave another few minutes then off you go as before,agree would not be good to shave that area if chances are you would like to show & at least neuters do grow out of it although it has taken Welly until nearly four,touch wood I haven't seen it on him the last couple of months,watch this space...
