Hi I read you post on another site. I agree it sounds like anal glands. I suggest calling your vet just to be sure. Since he recently had surgery the Vet should be the one to express them then when he is all healed up it's something you can easily do when giving him a bath, it's no biggie really if that is what it is. All dogs have glands on either side of the anus and it aids in elemination and they normally don't cause any problem. But be sure to have the vet check it out maybe when he goes back foe a recheck or for his post op visit. Good Luck & God Bless.... Sharon |
