| OMG! Anal Glands! I was bathing my girl and I was doing her anal glands and out came all the liquid discharge and Uh! it smell awful. I just kept gagging. I will still empty her anal glands every time its need but I just had to share cause it was horrible. I don't know how many out there do this but it pretty bad . |

| How do you do it? My vet usually does it, but now that my oldest only needs to go back once a year and I am grooming them myself now, I probably need to know how to do it. Otherwise, it won't get done! Isn't it true that if they have hard stools then that will express the anal glands and you won't have to do it manually? |

| How do you know if it needs to be done? Do some dogs need them expressed more often than others? Oscar is 9mths and I don't think he's had any issues yet... certainly doesn't smell or seem to have any bum issues unless he's got a cling-on...

| OMG, isn't that the WORST smell in the world! I don't think I could do it myself but years back we had a Lahsa Poo and one time he leaked or expressed his own or something and I literally almost got sick! HORRIBLE!!! |

| ooh....don't think I could do that myself...I've never smelled it, but sounds like I'm glad. I don't handle gross smells like that very well. Since I've become a "mommy", and Sadie's had some poopy problems & stuff, I've gotten a little better, but have had my share of queasy stomach moments. I've usually gotta cover my nose!

| OH! FOrgot to add and with this by no means am I saying you should try this. You lift their tail up, then feel for two little grapes on the 3 and 9 o'clock positions of the anus. Then once you have located them positions your finger behind squeeze and pull foward and out comes squirting that wonderful juice. |

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | Ok here is what my vet told me "dogs useally express the glands themselves in some dogs they don't but don't have it done unessasaraly because they will lose the ability to do it for themselves" so in other words don't do it unless they have a prob and don't let your groomer do it automatically just to do it or they will have problems. Mind you i know nothing i'm a new mommy to but it does make sense.
