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...... |
heck its worth 20 dollars if you take your dog in to be groomed ... your groomer should do this the dogs that come to me every six weeks i make shure i do every other time and big dogs are soo freaking nasty ... My mini aussie got freaked out at the vet and blew out her anal gland on him sooo bad !! i was trying so hard not to pee my pants laughing the poor vet tec looked ... like he was violated lmao
