oh I am so sorry that you are going through this with your little one. It must be so upsetting to see her uncomfortable and not be able to help her. I will be praying you get some answers soon. |
Wow mimis symptom sounds like Nimki. I'll need to read more when back at work....my internet at home is down . Just checked on my phone . Thank you all for well wishes . Cant wait until shes better |
When an anal gland problem starts, and they get expressed, they can fill back up in a day or two and need expressing again. Can take 3 or more expressions in a week, but as the problem resolves, the glands will start working on their own, and won't overfill as fast. Sometimes a little Panalog up the butt (just to the very inside, like 1/8 - 1/4 inch) will help with any infection. Also antibiotics and increased fiber in the diet (green beans, pumpkin). |
Hi KJC Thank you for your reply. When she was at the vet yesterday I guess they checked them and they said they were empty. She has very little appetite as well :( and not many teeth. Pumpkin is high in fiber as well? Is this the canned stuff? I've never bought pumpkin. Green beans I can do. |
What is Panalog? |

I also have used Preparation H topically, it helps soothe and reduce swelling. Quote:
Panolog Ointment (Nystatin-Neomycin Sulfate-Thiostrepton-Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment USP) combines nystatin, neomycin sulfate, thiostrepton and triamcinolone acetonide in a non-irritating, protective vehicle, a Plasticized Hydrocarbon Gel (polyethylene and mineral oil gel base). |
Update: So shes relatively ok if you put her under a blanket and sit next to her. Otherwise shes running around biting towards her butt (she never actually gets it but bites in it's direction)and panting and wanting water. Once she starts running its hard to get her back under the blanket... I have that medicine that I mentioned earlier that I can start on Friday...but Friday seems so far away! I got another vet rec but its about an hour from my home. |

You really have to know how to express those anal glands. I hope some technician didn't squeeze too hard or hurt her. It happens. I would take her to another vet and find out what the problem is. In the meantime what if you soak her rear in warm water. I would try that to see if it helps her. |
Please keep us updated hope you find a answer soon |
SO I called my rescue and told them what was going on and they referred me to their vet that they trust completely and saw is wonderful. I have an appt at 3pm with her. So hopefully I know what's going on today!!!! thank you all for your support. |

They did blood work and her white blood cell count was high So they put her on an anti-inflammatory and an antibiotic..... Also did a fecal and rechecked her anal glands. she said one was erally inflamed and still had some to be expressed. I hope this cures it all :-/ |
