Oooh, we went through this ordeal at Christmas time. This usually means that your dog needs to express his/her anal glands. Every time a dog poops, they express thier anal glands. Your vet can do it for you for about $10-$15, or you can do it too, with rubber gloves, just stick a finger in his butt about an inch and press to the sides. It's gross, but it will help him/her. OKAY - dont' freak out yet. After going thru all of this, our dog just had allergies! Our vet told us to give the dog a half a dose of children's benedryl every 5 hours for three days and it cured him! Allergies are very common in yorkies. My uncle's yorkie goes in once a month for an allergy shot, even. Hope this helps! |
