Sometimes Gizmo scoots if he just got *ahem* clipped back there and near his "undercarriage" as I call it.

Glad it was nothing serious! And no worries, all of us can admit running to the vet or something tiny. Just shows we care about our pups!

Glad she's fine!

I'll never forget being all freaked out over "tumor looking things" near Jackson's butt... only to discover his balls had descended!! LOL. Wow embarrasing. Thank goodness I did not go to the vet for that. How stupid would I have felt?

Katie Scarlett is just fine! Her anal glands were fine and so was her stool sample that I took in. I had told the doctor how she had scooted afterwards and how I noticed there was a little piece of poopie on the carpet. She said she was probably just trying to clean herself up. She has not scooted anymore today...just those few times this morning. They also did a routine examination and everything was fine. I felt kind of silly walking out of there, but better safe than sorry. And they only charged me half of a normal routine examination fee, so that was nice of them.

Glad everything was ok.

Glad everything is ok! Don't feel silly at all. It's better to be safe then sorry, and I love the piece of mind knowing everything is ok! Give your sweet angel baby lots of kisses from us!

Better safe than sorry!!!

I get my baby's glands drained every month! Hers fill up fast & she becomes uncomfortable. Both my vet & groomer say that it's best to have done ever month or sooner if needed. Little dogs have problems with their glands & it becomes uncomfortable quick. Like a constipated feel almost, but not quite, obviously.

Glad your baby is ok!

Please don't feel silly at all. You are such a good mommy looking out for her the way you do! I wish they all had such protective mommies!

My sweet girl had this issue this week too. I noticed one day that she just wasn't her normal self, had been biting her tail and scooting a lot. She didn't want to do anything but lay around and sleep. So I of course took her right in, and sure enough they were full. She is almost 5 months and every time we have gone for shots they have had to drain them. I think we will have to have them drained every 6-8 weeks from now on. Poor babe!

I have a good groomer for Reesie, and she clears Reesie's anal glands whenever I take her in for grooming, about once a month. "sspaht" is right about them being a problem for small dogs. You can do it yourself once instructed as to how, but you'd better have her in a bath tub as it can get a little messy.
