Please help me! I have a 4 1/2 year old bulldog, Otis. He has had issues with anal glands for years. We changed his food to Orijen with fiber one cereal to help thicken up his stools. We have seemed to get that under control. I had no idea that he had a deep tail pocket! My husband googled it one day and we have been cleaning it out daily ever since. I have taken him to the vet for over a month to try and fix this infection. We clean his tail pocket daily with Duoxo pads. The infection has gotten better but still not clear. I went back again yesterday and the doctor now has put him on Cephalexin. He had it last night and then again this morning. The vet warned me it may upset his stomach so make sure he eats. He normally eats only 1 time. He is a lover of treats throughout the day! This morning the poor guy got sick all over- ugh!!!! We are suppose to be on this medicinge for 3 weeks. I don't want him to continue to get sick and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for either the medicine stomach upset or how to clear the tail pocket quickly. He is also talking about tail pocket surgery which I am totally against! Anyone have any advice?
Thanks so much!
