When I was 16 I worked at a groomers bathing animals and one of my jobs was anal gland expressing...Let me tell ya, there is nothing worse than squeezing a gallon of nasty brown liquid out of a Rottweiler's butt!!! (exageration on the gallon, but it was alot!) I found it harder to do on smaller dogs as you have to pull the tail up and well you know Yorkies don't really have tails!!!! I took Tucker to a groomers and had them do it for $5.00 cause he was scooting his butt also.. If you really want to do it yourself, which I do not recommend, you have to hold him still and pull up the tail until it looks like his butthole is sticking out, then you take your thumb and forefinger and gently squeeze both sides of his butthole. It is more comfortable and cleaner to do this in the tub.. Do not squeeze hard, it doesn't take much to get it out..It is gross but it's kinda like popping a pimple..Good Luck!! But let me tell ya from LOTS of experience...It is SOOOO worth the $5.00...... |
