Great humor, good info. I have 3 doxies, and this is a constant battle. Vet tech showed me how to express it one time, and I have decided I will always pay the money to have it done at the vet clinic.
THANK YOU. i’m a longtime petsitter with no official training worried about a dog’s anal gland treatment at the moment and videos from veterinarians have been so comprehensive and definitely saved me from messing up with a lot of clients’ pets. it’s a lifesaver and i don’t have to harass my clients or their vets after hours. keep being awesome yall
Six months ago, my 9 year old papillon dog developed a/g infection over the weekend. I didn’t notice scooting but she seem to not sit comfortably. Once I investigated the problem and parted her long hair, saw the swollen area. At the ER visit, vet used a needle on the right gland and drained it then sent her home with antibiotic. The needle hole drained until I could see my vet the following week. Since that time I’ve had to take her weekly or monthly to my vet because her right gland now gets thick. After a $400.00 ER visit and watching her suffer, I’ve been more proactive in checking her butt. Thanks for explaining and hope other pet owners will learn from your wisdom and my experience.
Hi, do you still smell the fishy smell if the glands are fine? My dog isn't scooting or biting his rear but once in a while I smell it on him. He is small and I'm feeding him pumpkin puree.
My vet tech friend told me my dogs glands are shaped a little weird (he's 85 pounds), but we think that's why his glands dont express naturally. She would do an intwrnal expression and he'd need it monthly. He does leak it sometimes when its full and we are trying to prevent it ourselves since we have moved out of state!
about your question i think small dog are the most , doctor could you please make a video about corneal sequestrum i would love to know what it is and how to differentiate between it and other eye disease and thank you so much for your videos
hi! love your channel! question- do does age have any factor with this? What about constipation? my frenchie is about 14 mos old but she has been doing the scooting thing only once in a while but for a longgg time now. she also started doing what i call chasing her imaginary tail cuz thats how it looks. shes been going into episodes of looking uncomfortable, pacing while sometimes squat-walking and at times she goes outside and it seems like she cant go. her poop is really hard and drydespite our efforts to help her with that. does sge maybe need this expression done? I also heard once its done for them, you have to continually keep having it done for them, is that true?
My cockapoo let me internally express her glands since I got her as a puppy. He’s 3 now. It takes me about one minute to express both glands. It’s the color of dulce de leche and the texture and thickness of a warmed up Starburst.
Disgusting. Cheers and thanks, my Cavapoo is scooting so thanks for the heads up Update. My girlfriend came to watch me to see the process. DO NOT STAND DOWN RANGE. I repositioned myself so she could see better and it got on my cheek.
Well if that's the consistency of a starburst we're all in trouble I think you ment Starbucks or something else close to chocolate... Maybe I missed something too..
Thank the dear lord my dog doesn't have this issue. She's 100lbs, never farts, never even licks herself in weird parts. She's an angel and somehow some loser decided to abandon her. Oh well--my luck!
@@girthykirby I'm taking care of my sister's dog :( And the stench is UNREAL! We couldn't figure out what was going on with him...thought we fed him the wrong food.
You said 4-6 weeks if your dog has problems, how often should you do/have it done if your dog doesn’t have any problems that you noticed? My dog doesn’t have any issues, should I look into having this done? She’s a Bichon Frise..
Doctor, my 3 year old female chihuahua is scooting almost evryday, usually aftr she pooped. We brought her to the vet mny times to hv the anal glands expressed but it doesnt seem to work. She stil scoots. We feed my dog w pumpkins which oso doesnt seem to work. What can we do? I feel so sory for my chi & i m helpless.
My dog god his anal gland expressed for the first time in his life, his first bowel moment after there was a little blood in his stool. But other that there’s no pain. Is this normal?
Hi Doctor, My pet is 12 years old Spitz male dog and from past 2 months it is suffering from anal gland infection. Started with a small pimple then went to blood blister kind of thing and then enlarged. Its recurrent now and surgery is suggested. Pls tell me if there will be any risk and will he suffer more
Wouldn't you say the anal glands are also a way for dogs to identify each other, identify their puppies, moreso than the things you suggested? Just curious.
Can dogs scoot their butts like that on occasion when they’re playing? My frenchie started scooting her butt about 1-2 times only when she plays though. Not sure if this is her marking her territory (toys) or if she has an anal gland issue.
My dog just had a anal gland rupture. It bled a lot. The emergency vet opened it and drained it & gave her antibiotics and pain meds to the tune of $1600.
My Corgi is fishy smelling. I know it's the glands. I usually have the groomer do it. But he seems to need it more often than that. I was hoping for a demo of how to do it safely at home. Thanks for the video and your humor adds to it. This is stressing me and my buddy out.
Basically a he did not show put on a pair of gloves and properly express. Yes many large dogs will also have this over the last 30 years not a pleasant thing to do, but unfortunately it’s becomes necessary and you know that smell it will need to be done Did I miss where he put gloves on and showed how to properly do this at home procedure?
I never knew this was a thing he's a bit miserable is there anything I can do at home to to relieve the swelling like Epsom salt bath or just warm water Or you know Delically cleaning it with sterile saline solution until I get to vet hospital tomorrow
My dog is the dog most likely to have this issue, because she is small. She needs internal expression. Fortunately, I can afford it for her. Poor baby❤️
Yeeeee, I have a mini sausage dog, and we had a burglary whilst I was at home with her, she expressed her glands all over me and urinated on my lap whilst trembling, while I was crying on the phone to a 999 operator lol.
I have a pug whom I believe has rapture his anal gland. I would appreciate a future video to assist with that. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
Small dogs. I have a 7-month old French bulldog. I just got her 3 weeks ago. Her poop is consistent and solid but smells rank like something died. Should I express her anal glands ?
So youre saying that its technically safer and increases life expectancy to shower in anal gland oil before walking through the forest because it wards off other animals. Thats what I got from watching this video.
I am so interested in your video,could not help falling in love with the adorable dogs.I wanna invite you to promote my products ,these dog products are free to send . May I have the honor to have you do a collaboration together!
OK this is so weird because at four minutes and five seconds you said that is mostly happens with smaller dog breeds, and I’ve always had smaller dogs. To shih tzus that lasted 16 years. (Rip Snickers and Missy) 🥹 but they never ever 🙌🏼had this problem! Well we recently rescued a 1 year old Aussie doodle 🐩 and he’s doing the booty scoot a lil bit😂🤢🤮 and I’ve never experienced this anal gland thing owning a dog before 😬😫GROSSSA!! I already have to clean 🧽 🧼 everyone else in my houses shit 💩My six year old sons, plus grown adults that seem to be shatting and blowing up the toilet 🚽 pissing in every vicinity of the toilet except the actual bowl 5 seconds after I clean it, just like a cat does I swear!!😳😤🫠 Speaking of cats I’m also the only one who keeps up with the litter box for our 🐈🙄 I can do pimples & tonsil stones, I can watch the most gruesome horror films, but THIS??? Nahhh😂😂😂😂😂NOPE ✋
I use the anal gland fluid as a sauce for hot dogs, hamburger, ramen noodles, stuff like that. It's pretty pungent on it's own, but if you gingerly put it on your favorite food, it tastes good.

Great choice 😂
Take care of your dog !! Nothing wrong with doing it yourself. Why are u choosing vet? Are u not able to do it ?
@@DavePryor302he’s just saying that cause it’s disgusting
@@leomessi_tps4683 it’s not even disgusting. It’s basic hygiene
@@DavePryor302
And there’s also nothing wrong with letting your vet do it either. They literally ARE taking care of their dog.

Have a papillon too. He is doing same thing your dog is. I will get him checked. Thanks
Thank you so much for explaining this. My poor pup just had a rupture. My vet acted like I should know all of this.
Was that the cat throwing it’s toy up in the air at 0:55? 😂 so adorable
I thought I was the only one who noticed that 😂
ANSWER: Small dogs
I learned this at my vet. My husband and I have a Shih tzu and she usually needs it about every four to six weeks.
Awesome explanation and information! ALL dogs
Glad you think so, thanks for watching!
Thanks for putting Ginger down off of the table; I was so nervous about her jumping or falling!
Thanks for info and love the real sense of humor ❤
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi, do you still smell the fishy smell if the glands are fine? My dog isn't scooting or biting his rear but once in a while I smell it on him. He is small and I'm feeding him pumpkin puree.
nah u should prolly get some amazon gland meds
I love that the cat is totally here for it. Especially for the scooting demo

Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!
Me too!
Are there two glands one on each side?
Correct! Dogs have two anal glands, also known as anal sacs.
Instant sub! Great vid!
Thank you so much for the feedback and for the sub! We greatly appreciate it :)

Try adding Bran Flakes cereal to her food it will help
Thank you for this info! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Small docs how do you show most. My question is if it ruptures do I still need to check to see if they need more to be released?
Do you have any comments or videos of having them removed to hardening like in golden retrievers
What can I add to my fur babies diet to stay away from the problem
My vet told me pumpkin puree. It doesn't prevent it entirely but it prolongs between visits
My cockapoo let me internally express her glands since I got her as a puppy. He’s 3 now. It takes me about one minute to express both glands. It’s the color of dulce de leche and the texture and thickness of a warmed up Starburst.

Thanks for sharing.
My blue heeler keeps having issues... I have been trying to do it myself and I cannot figure it out... she is getting expensive to keep..😞
Very important! very common!Thanks my Flattie never had problem with that, as the breed needs to walk a lot!
Very true, glad you don't have to deal with it!
Thank the dear lord my dog doesn't have this issue. She's 100lbs, never farts, never even licks herself in weird parts. She's an angel and somehow some loser decided to abandon her. Oh well--my luck!
then why u watching this lmao
@@girthykirby I'm taking care of my sister's dog :( And the stench is UNREAL! We couldn't figure out what was going on with him...thought we fed him the wrong food.
So, basically like popping a pimple?

My groomer expressed my dog and now one of her glands leaks non stop. Can't figure out what to do
Wouldn't you say the anal glands are also a way for dogs to identify each other, identify their puppies, moreso than the things you suggested? Just curious.
think you shouldve just included the info on ruptured anal glands included in the video to be more informative.
Thanks for the feedback
Can dogs scoot their butts like that on occasion when they’re playing? My frenchie started scooting her butt about 1-2 times only when she plays though. Not sure if this is her marking her territory (toys) or if she has an anal gland issue.
Could be the anal glands or potentially an issue with a tail pocket
What do you do if the glad ruptures?
My dog just had a anal gland rupture. It bled a lot. The emergency vet opened it and drained it & gave her antibiotics and pain meds to the tune of $1600.

How much is the cost
Varies from place to place.
Basically a he did not show put on a pair of gloves and properly express. Yes many large dogs will also have this over the last 30 years not a pleasant thing to do, but unfortunately it’s becomes necessary and you know that smell it will need to be done

My dog is the dog most likely to have this issue, because she is small. She needs internal expression. Fortunately, I can afford it for her. Poor baby❤️
You didn’t mention this fact but just recently I learned that dogs also express their anal glands as a fear response. 😮
Yeeeee, I have a mini sausage dog, and we had a burglary whilst I was at home with her, she expressed her glands all over me and urinated on my lap whilst trembling, while I was crying on the phone to a 999 operator lol.
I have to take my beagle, which is a house dog about every 2 weeks.
What is a rapture glands??
Is there a way I can express the gland...what I'm asking will a warm compress help express the anal glands
I have a pug whom I believe has rapture his anal gland. I would appreciate a future video to assist with that. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
Small dogs. Isn't there something you can feed then to help the glands
Not anything for sure. One product would be gland ease from veterinary recommended solutions
my large dog when nervous smells from the behind, is this the anal glad maybe ?
Small dogs. I have a 7-month old French bulldog. I just got her 3 weeks ago. Her poop is consistent and solid but smells rank like something died. Should I express her anal glands ?
Doctor. Please put a glove on!
04:04 live ? Is there any other way to do it ?? 😂
This may be a really dumb question.... But do cat's have anal glands like dogs do?? And if so do they need them cleaned and such too??
Yes cats do have anal glands as well. I don't think that cat need their glands expressed anywhere near as much as dogs do.
Is there an age at which to start doing the procedure? My pup is 5 and a half months old and he seems to have an irritated butt
Cats get this too...mine has it.
So youre saying that its technically safer and increases life expectancy to shower in anal gland oil before walking through the forest because it wards off other animals. Thats what I got from watching this video.

Nothing. The only thing that we have determined to be abnormal with anal glands is if there is blood present
