Expressing the anal gland
How to Tell If Your Dog Needs His Anal Glands Expressed
Anal sacs, or anal glands, carry some smelly fluid and occasionally need to be expressed, or emptied. Many dogs express them by themselves every time they.
Sadly, due to a lack of good fiber in the average canine diet, many dogs have to have their anal glands expressed manually meaning the vet or groomer.
How to Tell If Your Dog Needs His Anal Glands Expressed
Description:This may cause discomfort as the full anal sac pushes on the anus. Our veterinarians or your groomer can express the glands. Is there a way to prevent this issue?
