Edie had an abcessed gland about 4-5 years ago. I noticed it because she was licking there all the time. It just looked like a red bump---When I found it it had not broken the skin YET.
The vet lanced it and drained it (Edie was sedated) and she was put on antibiotics for 10 days. It has been over 4 years, and there was no recurrence. I am always on the lookout, however.
Ask your vet about the food you are feeding your pup. You really want him to have hard stools, which helps the glands work better. If you are feeding canned food, this might help. |
