oh we know all about anal glands
every day when they poop... the glands should empty themselves... but if one day they dont' empty.. they fill up and the liquid in them becomes thicker each day, until it can't come out even with a good poop... your dog will usually scoot which is a good indication that their glands are bothering her.... is her poop solid??? also... now that i know all about the.. i can feel around layla's bum and i can tell when they are full... it feels almost swollen around her bum. the vet can express them... usually painless... can be very smelly... if it is a constant problem (like ours) try giving her food with more fibre to make her poops harder.. could it just be plain old gas???
