He will start to scoot his butt in the carpet or is constantly sitting on his butt and is smelling himself there. Let me tell you that it smells l10 times than rotten fish.It has a strong tuna/ammonia smell.
This is how I do it:
Get at least 2-3 small napkins
Lift his little nubby tail and gently start to massage/squeeze his anus with the napkin. You squeeze at a 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. Soon you will feel their anus sort of push out and this is when you squeeze like if you're milking a cow. Take a look at the napkin . You should see a dark brown liquid that looks like dark vinegar. Repeat one or two more times and that's it. It only takes like 1-2 minutes to do this. After it's done I do spray his little butt with puppy cologne.
It's disgusting I know! But I won't drive 20mile roundtrip so the vet can do this lol.
I also have to do this to my Maltese! Just my luck! Her's are much worse!! One day I squeezed it while I was giving her a bath and it shot out like 4 feet away! YUCK!!!!
