| It sounds like a problem with the anal glands. Do you have them expressed often? If not then the glands fill up and can cause a fisher (sp) It happened to a friend of mines chihuahua. Good Luck and get him to a vet.

| Had this happen. On my old departed guy, when he got way up in years, he had problems with impacted anal glands. The stuff inside was more like cement than the stinky oozy stuff it was supposed to be. He once developed a fissure as a result. Keep it clean till you get to the vet. Warm compresses help. If that's what it is, he'll need antibiotics.

| Definitelty sounds like an anal rupture. Andromeda has had this happen before. Take her to the vets and get some antibiotics and they will probably also suggest warm cloths on her backside for about 5 minutes 3-4 times a day. This will help clear out the rest of the excriment as well as encourage blood flow to the infected area to help in healing. Please keep us posted. |

| You have already had everyone tell you to contact your vet. Please do so asap. He needs antibiotics or the infection will get worse. He might even need surgery if you don't treat it quickly. |

| The exact same thing happened to my daughter's Cocker. She noticed her cocker licking and dragging her butt late one night. My daughter saw a huge swollen lump under the anus and rushed the dog to the emergancy vet. While they were waiting for the vet the lump burst and left a huge open hole. The vet cleaned the wound and put the dog on an antibiotic.
