| You can opt to have the anal glands removed as well. They can also "back up" or clog, and rupture, it is very serious and the most excruciating helpless pain a dog can suffer (i hear) my peke had this happen once, they ruptured, he screamed like he was being stabbed. They had to put a drain, and then remove later. It is horrible.
But they do remove them. Scooching is another sign they are trying to releive them. And although I have never heard the more you esprees, can cause problems, I thought it was good to espress regularly. If a dog has a problem that is.
Only one of mine has problems, and he is fixing to get his removed soon.
Longer hair and smaller breeds are more prone. And males, for some reason or other. |
