Signs of Gland Problems
Anal gland infections will make your dog very uncomfortable. If you think your dog’s anal glands are infected, visit a vet! Here are some of the signs:
- Scooting - Have you recently notice your dog scooting or dragging his bottom across the floor?
- Licking / Chewing - Has your dog been licking or chewing near his rectum area?
- Soft / Mushy Stools - Notice any difference in your dogs stools?
If you see any of the signs above, let your dog’s vet know about it because your dog’s anal glands might need to be manually expressed. You could do it yourself , but it’s better to leave this type of job to the professionals. You shouldn’t really be worried about the bill, most vets charge under $30 to manually express your canine’s anal glands. Do you have your dog groomed by a professional? Some groomers will also manually express your dog’s anal glands.
