| Oooh, we went through this ordeal at Christmas time. This usually means that your dog needs to express his/her anal glands. Every time a dog poops, they express thier anal glands. Your vet can do it for you for about $10-$15, or you can do it too, with rubber gloves, just stick a finger in his butt about an inch and press to the sides. It's gross, but it will help him/her. OKAY - dont' freak out yet. After going thru all of this, our dog just had allergies! Our vet told us to give the dog a half a dose of children's benedryl every 5 hours for three days and it cured him! Allergies are very common in yorkies. My uncle's yorkie goes in once a month for an allergy shot, even. Hope this helps!

| Yup, every time Sandy does this it means her glands need to be expressed. I'm too intimidated and grossed out to do it myself but both my vet and groomer are happy to do it for me for about $10.

| Passionfruition- Thanks I wondered how you express their glands. It sounded much more complicated to me. Aimee- I really like your new avaitar.
