 Winnie and her anal glands
Hello,
I am a new mommy and have had Winnie for 4 weeks now. 2 days ago she started dragging her butt across our floor. We yelled her thinking that it was wrong to do that but then got to thinking that she has an itch and doesn't know any other way to scratch it. After she kept doing it, I assumed something was wrong. I googled it and came up with her anal glands. Then it said that if she's biting her butt and what not that it could be a sign of that as well.
This morning before going to work I caught her doing it again. I picked her up and put her in the bathroom and took her little butt in my hands and pinched. There was about an eye droplet full of brown liquid and I squeezed a little bit more and a small drop came out. She didn't wine or whimper. I just don't know if I got it all. I'm feeding her a premium dog food and her stools are sometimes soft and sometimes hard.
How much liquid should there be in a 3 1/2 month old yorkie? What if I only got the one anal gland? Has anyone else experience this?
I might just face it and go back to the vet and it hasn't been a week since I was just there.
To top it off, I was giving her a cut last night and the attachment fell off and there is a large bald spot on the side of her and around her tail. How embarrassing!
Will anyone share their thoughts?
Thanks in advance! |
