anal

Every morning I clean my boys' faces and tail pockets and I also wipe their bums after they poop. Ive recently started to notice that Ernie has been getting a clear crusty mucus on his butthole and there's an area between his tail pocket and butthole that looks swollen and if I push on it too...

I took the pups to the groomers yesterday, and I get a pic from the groomer showing Wally has ANOTHER cyst in his front paw... I swear this is round 3 since the summer. I feel bad because I hurt my back last weekend, so I wasn't able to do my normal grooming routine on the pups and I didn't...

Hello, I am interested in hearing what brands of food have been successful in bulking up poop to encourage natural anal gland expression. Rosie girl is 3 years old and has had anal gland issues since day one. She tends to "blow out" her anal glands every 3-4 days inside the house which...

I am obviously insane and have drank way to much. Please welcome our new addition to the family, Miss Henny Penny. This makes 5 dogs, 2 English, one french, one westie and Henny. There was a local lady who breed her dogs and kept most of them. She became ill and a ton of her dogs, mostly...

I've been sick all week, so this weekend I was trying to get the pups back on a schedule of the daily walk since it's been so nice outside. I noticed that Wally was walking funny... sure enough an interdigital cyst is going on. I tried to put some meds on it, and take a good look and he wasn't...

It's been a week since Dozer's tail amputation and when I got home yesterday, there was blood all over my comforter and pillows. I immediately thought "OMGosh, he's incision popped open." It looked like a crime scene in my bedroom. Come to find out there was a little spot not around the...

My Iggy just turned 4. He is normally extremely healthy, great weight and diet, super active and again super healthy. He started drinking a lot and peeing for a long time, needing to go out more. He can usually hold it all day. After vet ruled out infections she did blood and further urine...

Hi all Wondered if anyone could shed some light as an stumped. For the past three days Winston has barely touched any food and does not seem himself. I put it down to the hot weather or possibly the recent change in his diet. However in an effort to get him to eat i gave him some mince...

Well Walter started his growl at his butt thing again, so I figured it was his anal glands "again"... AND his ear that has been causing issues for a month now was still icky so we went to the vet's today. Right anal gland was bad AND he has an ear infection, poor buddy can NOT catch a break :(...

My Bully Layla is 11 years and old and thankfully has lived most of her life without many of the typical bully issues related to skin. She has only been our bully the last two years (we adopted her form a rescue). However we do know she has a long history of scooting and dragging related to...

Fezzik doesn't really have anal gland problems, but I saw this article and thought I would post. Let me know how it works. Dog Anal Glands: The DIY Solution To Stinky Problems - Dogs Naturally Magazine

It's happened a few times within the last two months that awful smell shows up out of no where! Tonight it was when he was sleeping on me. He's on a grain free diet filtered water etc He shows no sign of discomfort, I cleaned his bottom really well after I smelled what had happened. Is this...

Wally had his annual vaccines and physical yesterday w/the vet… she was extremely pleased w/how he's doing. As of right now he is NOT on restricted activity because of his mild spondylosis, the vet feels like this is a non issue at this time. Nikki had suggested acupuncture or chiropractor...

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...

Many of you on here know about our issues w/Walter in the last couple of months… he had a horrible anal gland infection, and that has somehow turned him into a different dog. He has growled and snapped at us on occasion… mostly at my husband, but he has snapped at me and the kids (not Marcus...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum :) And I'm really looking for some advice regarding tail amputation because I'm very unsure what to do. My beautiful, healthy bulldog boy, Bruiser, is 6 months old and is having a really tough time with his very tight tail. It is very inverted and causing him a...

Hello All, Rex turned 4 in February. Around that same time, I took him to a new groomer. She claimed to express his anal glands externally. Shortly thereafter, Rex began spinning on his butt and rubbing up against furniture. I took him to our vet who stated it was very difficult, if not...

Fabreze air effects is totally useless on "essence of anal gland". First my pants, now my chair. Two nights, 2 bullies, too much...when will it end?! :bad:

Hey all! Long time, and back with a question. I'm looking to drain my bullies anal glands personally (probably said nobody ever.) I've got gloves, papertowels, and ready to do it in the tub before a bath. Seems pretty straightforward, my vet just cups the glands in the back and squeezes. Does...

It's been almost a month since Walter was seen for an infected anal gland, he is still taking Rilexine 600mg a day… he was throwing up at night and I thought it was the meds, but NOW I'm convinced that it's not the meds but maybe the snacks at night that I've been giving him. Since being on...
