Chronic anal gland problems
Rare and unfortunate dogs develop chronic problems with their anal glands. It is possible to surgically remove the glands in these cases, but the procedure carries a relatively high rate of complications, including pain, infection, and fecal incontinence. I, therefore, recommend the surgery only if the dog’s anal gland problems are causing him to suffer significantly. The surgery should not be performed on dogs who simply scoot or shoot their glands more often than their owners would like.
We may love Fido's fluffy tail but anything below that is usually off limits. LOL! Now you should have a better understanding of dog anal glands and how to keep them in good health.
There are countless wonderful things about canines. We admit that dog anal glands are not among those things but it's still important to educate yourself on the matter.
Now you know it all. From the tip of his wet nose to the end of his fluffy tail and beyond, your pooch is much less of a mystery now! LOL!
