Poor Rocky! He could be biting his tail and unable to poo because he has impacted anal sacs preventing him from passing feces. I see that he isn't neutered, and unneutered dogs are prone to anal tumors, which would also interfere with him passing feces. Finally, he could be biting his tail because he's suffering from fleas. Rocky has to see a vet for this, as it's quite serious he's biting his tail so much it's bleeding, he's yelping in pain, and hasn't pooped in two days. I can give you some resources that may help you afford a vet. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Carefree Credit online. http://www.carefreecredit.co.uk https://www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/vetcare http://www.easipetcare.com I hope one of these resources helps you, please take Rocky into a vet asap.
