Help Bucky has Anal Abcess Hi, Just got back from vet and Bucky has a anal gland abscess. They lanced it and flushed it twice. He has severe bruising from it also.:( My question is the meds. He is on 1/2 tab Clavamox twice a day and Rimadyl 1/4 tab once a day for pain. He is 5 lbs. Does anyone have experience with these meds????? |
Ohhh poor baby! I hope he feels better soon. What is the strength of the meds he was given? Why are you concerned about this? Is your pup acting okay... or is something wrong? |
Sorry to hear. Nikki my 15 year old I recently took in has one right now. I noticed it last Thursday and had never had experience with this before. I took him to my vet Friday and they flushed his anal glands twice and instilled an antibiotic in there. He is on 1/2 tab of Baytril and Metacam for pain. It is just starting to look better. He goes in tomorrow for a follow up. He gave no signs of having any problems so I didn't know his glans were full. I will have to watch him from know on. I have had my dogs on Clavamox for various infections and they did fine on it. I never had any on Rimadyl though. I hope your little guy heals fast. |
Just talked with Vet and she changed the pain med to Tramadol. I guess I just got scared reading about the Rimadyl. I feel so bad for him. He seems like he is in alot of discomfort. I am putting warm cloths on his behind every hour or so. I am shocked how fast something like this acts up so fast????? I was just reading about this and was so thankful we have never had this problem. |
Aww... poor Bucky :( I hope everyone starts feeling better at your house. Khloe says hi! |
Sometimes diet can be a factor with anal glands. Maybe discuss this with your vet. He may need more fiber to help keep things working properly. I think too some things may be developemental. My first Yorkie had two anal gland surgeries in 6 months when she was 3 or 4 years old, then never had another problem. PeekA Boo had 3 bouts of HGE within a year and a half, between ages 4 and 5 years, and none since. He's 13 years old now. |
