| Apply warm wet compresses on his bum, for about 6 minutes. This will help release the impacted anal glands, and may give him a little comfort. Poor little guy, I hope this helps. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Poor little fella. You can put hydrocortisone cream or diaper cream on it.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Besides the anal glands giving him a problem, sometimes the area is made raw by trimming too close with a razor, licking can intensify the problem, and hydrocortisone cream or diaper cream helps with this, as well.

| Hey Nancy...glad you said this. Sophie's bottom looked a bit more shaved than normal and she's been trying to get her nose back there. I assumed it was because it felt "weird" for her. But maybe it's more than that. I'll have to take a closer look when I get home. Geez, if it's not carrots with poop, I'm looking at my dogs bum with a magnifying glass! The messes I get into hanging out with you! LOL

My DIL has been using the same groomer for years, but one occasion the razor left a nasty razor burn. The vet said that it's very easy for this area to become infected, if the skin is raw, and the dog got a bad infection, so I no longer use clippers for Joey, I just do a scissors cut.

YT 1000 Club Member | How safe is the cream if they try to lick it? Just wondering if it will hurt them.
