Does he seem to be in any pain? And will he let you touch it?
sounds like he's hurt himself / bruised his bum.
Please let us know how he gets on.

Have you had him in the water.
Dogs can develop a condition called ' Labrador's tail' by using their tail as a rudder for prolonged periods in water.
It usually clears up in a few days, but it is usually uncomfortable for them.

Ok. So looks like a condition called 'water tail' which @ruston has mentioned. He actually hates water and has not been swimming but it is not unique to swimming apparently. Over waging can also cause this to happen. The vet also noted him lame on his left rear and sore above his tail when touched.
Anti-inflammatories, rest and time.
At at least nothing serious. A lot of people comment as it is still quite unusual to see a Rottweiler with a tail so I am glad it will be wagging away again in a week or so.

Glad it's nothing too serious 
Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon.
