A necessary procedure to prevent discomfort and potential complications caused by gland blockages.
Anal glands are scent glands that are located just inside the rectum. These glands are naturally expressed each time a dog has a bowel movement. Sometimes these glands don’t empty on their own and can become infected and even rupture which is very painful.
We do not recommend this procedure to be done a home. Some animals will experience pain and may bite without proper restraint.
Not always, however, if this does occur we should check to make sure the glands are not blocked or infected.
