Just read this post last night. Today I had to take Joey to the Vet. I was grooming him for tomorrow's Indiana meet-up and when I combed near his rear he would whine. I looked and saw an open wound to the right of his anus. He was swollen on both sides. I checked him on Wednesday and he was fine. His right anal gland burst. They gave him a shot of penicillan and anti-biotics twice a day. Told me also that a sit in warm water will help. He's doing just fine, eating, pooping the works. Vet said this can happen within a 24 hour period. Never had to express his anal glands before, but always check every other day when I brush and comb him just in case. So, my advice is to get to the Vet before they burst if indeed it's the same thing.
