pocket

I took Blue and Wellie to the vet yesterday to have them micro chipped, and because Blues tail has been very sore for the last few weeks. I thought it was odd since we keep it clean, but with all his allergies, and because it's so tight, we thought maybe it was infected even though we...

I gave Belle a bath today but I'm having issues getting her tail pocket clean. It isn't very deep but every time I touch near it she clamps her tail down really hard. It makes it almost impossible to access. Is there a trick to get them to relax? I did get it clean by going very gently and...

Ok so Ty had both of his cherry eyes tacked when he was neutered on Feb. 27th. They were really bad, the left being the worst. For the first few days post-op they were red which I figured. They seemed to be doing well. A week later when we went for his follow up, on the way into the car, the...

Today Bella went back for her dental cleaning and tooth extractions. I adopted her two weeks ago and she had had an unrepaired broken jaw (car?) that had healed incorrectly. The vet called and said the trauma was greater than they previously thought and now she is being referred to a...

My Hank usually loves getting his tail pocket cleaned. I mean he LOVES it. I usually wipe it with baby wipes, followed with something dry, like a tissue or paper towel. I clean it 3-4 times a week. I went to clean it today and he won't let me touch it. I finally got a hold of him and wiped...

I need help on how to clean my EB's tail pocket. His tail is so tight again his butt that I cant get my finger between his butt and tail to clean the tail pocket. What are some ideas on how to get that area cleaned? I though about a qtip but wasn't sure if that would be sufficient enough. Any...

So last week the roofers came to replace the roof and the dogs went nuts. So I called the vet and took them there for the day to get a bath and toenail trim (and babysat for the day). Picked Dexter up, everything was fine - he was a little itchy but nothing abnormal after getting a bath. Next...

Hi Everyone! My 5-year-old English Bulldog, Monte has been having really bad tail issues lately. I clean his tail pocket every single day but sometimes that isn't enough. It produces brown gooey gunk from inside his pocket. No matter how often we clean it, within 24 hours it's still yucky...

Is this possible? He's only 8 months, could a tail pocket still form as he gets older? I'm not quite sure I'm feeling in the right spot but I got as far as I could under his tail as he was comfortable with. I do daily wipes to clean up any poo left behind but was not checking for a tail pocket...

Lily's Story... Check out Lily, the newest CEBR gal! She's 5.1/2 years old and a total love and sadly fell victim to being sold on CL to someone who was not prepared on how to care for a bully. Lily has typical bully skin issues and her poor tail pocket is so raw and infected that her rectum is...

I had to take my pup to the vets to day as he kept itching his bottom. I then found out he has a very infected pocket above his anus. It's very deep and very smelly. Iv been given creams and wipes to use for 7days. I'm just wondering if it does not clear what would they do. I'm all new to it all...

Sooo, today was nail day, had to take Vegas to Petsmart to get nails dremeled. Yesterday was bath, ear flush, anal glands and tail pocket day. Total "Spa" Weekend right?? Ohhh NO. Today took him to get nails done, all was well, took him, everything great. Brought him home, got a drink of water...

My Bulldog will be getting his "tail" removed due to chronic tail pocket infections. After 2 years a vet finally takes the time to Xray his tail area and we found out the little nub of a tail he does have is actually just skin. He has no tail bone near his "skin where a tail should be" so they...

Hi, I am new to the site and new to owning a bulldog. My little boy Chief is 7 months old now! I have always cleaned his tail pocket and he has always been fine with it, he would usually just sit down and stick his tongue out like he was licking the air. However the last few days he hasn't...

So I don't even know how to explain what is going on...but Joe just hasn't been himself for the past week or so. I went away to Costa Rica for two weeks before Thanksgiving, my Dad came from NC and stayed with him him at my house. When I got back Joe seemed to have a little redness in his ears...

Hi. At times I have noticed a very nasty smell by ebd has and I keep him clean. I clean his face 2 x a day as well as his tail pocket and even his butt after he poops. The other day I came home and I could smell this terrible smell. I thought he had pooped or vomited inside and I went around...

Hi! My English Bulldog, Winston, is 2.5 years old. He has a tail pocket and severe allergies so he's spent most of his life on prednisone. Nearly a month ago, he started developing these rough, raised patches of skin on the back of his neck and shoulders. It started oozing a clear/yellow fluid...
