| Maybe the anal glands need expression? Hmmm, I don't recall ever seeing Schatzie's butt looking swollen or such. If his bottom end seems real out of porportion to the rest of him maybe a visit to the vet could help shed some light on this?

| baby's glands may have to be drained, this is done by a vet. he or she will squeeze the glands. not sure if this is what needs to be done, i would take baby to a vet. better to be safe than sorry. |

| How old is Baby? And do you see him scooting his butt along the floor? If so, it probably is the anal glands that need to be emptied. |

| I would have your vet check him, it does sound like he may need his glands expressed. I do my dogs when I bathe them, but I did have my vet teach me how. |
