This happened with my mom's maltese. SHe had a huge hard knot. My mom had me take her to do the care on her since she worked such long days. I put warm compresses on several times a day and that made it fester up. It looked like a huge pimple (YUCK sorry) and then it popped, drained a bit and healed up. It took about 3 days for it to fester up and then about two weeks before the bump was all gone. I'm sorry this happened but you are not a bad mommy. Small breed dogs can have problems cleaning out their anal glands on their own. |
