Dog Chewing Tail

I am at my wits end, Coullette is chewing her tail open. I have had her to the vets twice and she is on atibotics and steroids to stop the itching, it is not working. They put 2 differet collars on her, a smaller one then a larger one. She can hardly move, and they told me not to take it off. 24/7. She can still get her tail. it is healing, but she keeps chewing it open. I tried to cover it, but he gets the bandage off. She got stress out when my mother came to vist with her two dogs and tore all the hair out of the base to half way up her tail. I have been treating this for 2 weeks now...I want my baby back to normal. Can you suggest anything I may have missed. This is a spoiled doggie.
