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 wanted me to go near it. Even wiping his bum he isn't keen on but if I try and go up towards his tail anywhere he runs off and when I have tried to hold him still he has cried out and whined. I am worried that it has started hurting him. I am thinking of taking him to the vet but he doesn't appear to be in any discomfort any other time than when I try to go near it with a wipe. Any suggestions or experiences similar?
Thank you in advance!
