Anal gland

[Mr Hunter 30]

I noticed a thread on here about a dogs rubbing its hoop along the floor and a few said it was to do with the anal gland.Well my pup been doing it a while now and i know its not worms as wormed every 4 weeks and was only done a few days ago.I just wondered how much the vet charges to do this as i dont fancy sticking my fingers up his arse.And if he reacts the way my Mrs does when i try it with her im f****d!

Mate, Grooming parlours will do this aswell, thats how i learned, working in a kennels as a kid, you don't have to do it internally, i do it externally, they should be able to show you.

Best of luck, with the dog and the wife

its unlikely anal glands impacting in a young pup , but it not expensive at vet mine charged me a tenner a couple of years ago and taught me how to do it lol

the cause is a build up of toxins in the anal sacks if you have a dog that gets it regular you can drain them weekly by squeezing the opening between thumb and forfinger no need to insert,

a low protien diet helps too , scooting is not really proof of it , they usually go off food and bite base of tail till it bleeds tho do scoot as well , hope that helps

Like was said above thumb and forefinger at ten to two EXTERNALY. Mind your eyes ATB John

I've not noticed biting as a symptom, certainly obsesive licking of the ring. And usually accompanied by really bad breath and a distinctly fish like odour :sick:

Anal glands can also be blocked by foriegn objects, No not pervy frenchmen . bits of sticks, bone etc have all been found when emptying glands. Often a poor/ predominently soft food diet doesn't help

Best done with tissue or a baby wipe between your fingers

Well someone described how to do it but couldnt see thread when flicked through.I might pop him to the greyhound therapy centre in morning see if groomer can do it.And as for Mrs just been to Tesco for a few Stellas so fingers crossed

what wormer do you use?

vet charges me £6.00 pound to empty the glands, i have recently had them removed from a bedlington at a cost of £300,

I have only ever had to get one dog done and that was almost 20 years ago. If you see the size of my dogs turds you would know why. Anal glads should be self cleaning with a good meat and bone diet.
