Anal Glands? Ok...so I've had my Syd for 6 months now. I know that she needs her anal glands expelled...I know the signs (butt dragging). I had in the past sucessfully done this to my poodle (RIP) but I just can't seem to get it to work on Syd. The last time she was at the vet...the vet did it for me and it was an explosion like I have never seen before. The poor thing got this look on her face like "ahhhhhhhh!". Obviously it must have been bothering her. Since then she has started the butt dragging again. I've tried twice. She acts like what I am doing feels good....but nothing is coming out. Advice? |
anals lift her tail up apply paper towel an squeeze you can tell when it works well smell a stinky odor trust me i am a retired vet tech :p |
Question...??? Do all Yorkies need this,,, Bailey had NEVER had this done and he is 11 months... I have never seen him have any signs that it needs done.. So does it need done? Or is he ok? :confused: |
To my knowledge...it depends on the dog. They are supposed to expell this naturally. If they are butt-dragging...it means that they aren't expelling it naturally and that it is irritated (it can get infected if let go too long). If yours isn't butt-dragging then I wouldn't worry about it. I've also known people who did it as a prevention method because you can get stains on furniture and carpet from it. |
