I have heard it can become quite painful if there is a problem though. The vet has offered to show us how to do it, but it is a delicate area and I am afraid I would hurt her! Hope he is better soon.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438252552396142483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-45165661919104582082015-01-26T11:48:05.572-05:002015-01-26T11:48:05.572-05:00Oh yikes...good thing you love him!

The first time we took her in for grooming, they asked if we wanted the anal glands done. I had no idea what that meant because our old mutt never went to a groomer.

He does not get groomed more than a few times a year but it does help with the gland issues. Poor Max it is hard when you cannot explain to them what is happening. I feel for you.<br />Hope they can get the other one done and he will be back to normal again. My daughter found that expressing them 2 times a year was helpful and she does not have him leaking anymore. Not a good week for little Max.<br />KrisJunkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-57382036927526084412015-01-24T09:57:54.185-05:002015-01-24T09:57:54.185-05:00This is pretty common for dogs.

Here I guess they can explode causing that. It is yucky. It makes them smell like a skunk. <br />Your poor pooch looks emarrased that you would speak of his anal glands.<br />Pumpkin is great for dogs.

They knew what that meant. My SIL does it himself. The vet showed him how. I could never do it. But after it was over, he was like our baby again. They have a Shitzu??? Yes, yucky weather today. I went to cheer up a friend and it made me feel better. I sure wanted to stay inside and read and sleep! That's what I usually do.
