This was the first video I’ve seen that thoroughly explained both methods internal and external. The demonstration on the internal expression was really informative and helpful. Thank you!
I watched a lot of these videos. Nice of you to explain everything. I have a 4lb Yorkie I don't want to subject her to too much!! Anyway just wanted to tell you that I love your bedside manner. You come across as someone who is a vet because you genuinely love animals & not just chasing $. I wish u were close by. Very hard to find gentle patient vets with a kind hand these days. ✌️
From a vet tech, the only vets chasing the money are the bad GPs that push products on you routinely. Everyone else is struggling to stay afloat with their student loan debt and mental health with their case load. Trust me, we could be pushing for far more money and we don't. It's turning into human medicine, but not quite yet.
For whatever reason a good amount of vet's become hard and callous, even those who were the biggest animal lovers ever at the beginning of their career, I think they are affected by the emotional toll they are subjected too on a daily basis, it's sad but thank goodness for these people
I am thankful I have a good vet.I have hunting dogs and sometimes they have accidents just like people.I can call at 3 am and he will get out of bed and say bring him in.My dogs are family and sleep in the house in the same bed.Dogs are gifts from God.
Thank you very much for walking us through the entire process. At first I thought we were just going to be shown a cartoon demonstration on the whiteboard, so I cannot express (bad pun) enough my gratitude for the completed procedure. Not only did you show the proper technique, but you were able to show what we need to accept from the dog's reactions, to hand/finger placement and the accepted waste that is removed. I really REALLy can't wait 🙄😭🤮to use my newly learned knowledge to professionally clean our dearest family member. God Bless.
Thanks you. You have explained and shown better than any other video. My dog is to have it done every month and it would be so much easier if I could learn to do it at home. Thanks again
Thank you, Dr. Kielbasa for demystifying the internal method. Last but not least, thank you for advise about being gentle and not causing pain. Give that good boy a treat!
My dog, Rosie had the problem all the time. She died back on 6/6/2015 because she got run over by a car while she was following me as i was driving my golf cart around the neighborhood. She was blind in one eye and that's what caused her to get run over. I miss her so much. She and I were best friends.
Thank you iv never been able to do my girls glands before always done my boys , my girl is five tonight she's been really unhappy watched this and did the second one and oh my god it worked . Shes happy and fast asleep thank you so so much x
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the technique well and create this video. You were so gentle with the pup and neat with the process. I now feel totally comfortable doing this when necessary for my baby. I have a Morkie that has had some anal gland issues. I just want to keep my little one well and comfortable. She's my little heart and means the world to me. Thanks again!!!❤❤❤
I appreciate your video since one of our dogs has a problem with odor and the groomer supposedly did their version of expressing the glands. That being said the odor came back but thanks to you I'll know how to do it myself. Thank you Doctor for your most informative video.
Thank you! This is the best video on this subject I have seen. Most of them don't really clearly show a close up of what is taking place and yours is so clear to see and understand. I love the drawing! I actually feel confident that I can do this now. A+++++ !!!!
I loved your video!! Your drawing in the beginning was the reason why I watched started to watch the video. I ❤the drawing!!! Thank you for taking the time to video this for us.
Great video. Note it can also be a bit more...stressful for small dogs because the finger size. Treat them how you'd want to be treated lol. Like she said...go slow and lots of lube. I'm about to head outside and take care of one of my doggos. Party time!
Thank You so much for this video. My German Shepherd has had anal gland problems for a very long time. i go to the vet every 8 weeks to get them expressed. Now maybe i can do this myself. Thanks to you. Thank you.
thank you so much for this informative video.....my vet keeps saying my dog wants to bite them....and it concerns me. I am going to try this at home with my hubby, in hopes that my beloved pet will be more comfortable
Also, I see the clock position that you’re referring to but with your index finger on the inside pressing on the grape sized area is your thumb on the outside also covering on top of that grape sized gland or is it down below exactly where is the farm in position to the relation of your index finger?
This kinda of helps I'm trying to understand where they are. I know this can turn into a serious problem if not emptied. My cat gets so impacted I don't know why
I rescue cats and have multiple cats had anal gland problems. When they start to smell I know it’s time. It’s so rough. My stinkys. One of our rescues had anal gland abscesses that burst and it was awful but I nursed him back to health after taking him to get meds at vet ER.
My cat has had repeated events of anal fissures which I now understand has been caused by impacted anal glands. Thanks for the instructions on how I can help him in the future.
What causes this? My shitzus pup is experiencing this and it’s kind of swollen I made a vet appointment for Monday but I’m just anxious and searching for ways to help the poor fella
My shitzu just started having this issue and it's a brown liquid and can have some gritty texture. Is the white more gritty? I just ordered anal gland support off of Amazon, to incorporate into his diet to add extra fiber and pumpkin. Maybe check into that too?
as awkward as it is , i appreciate the information bc dogs put all their trust into us so we should give them the best. i’m so glad my dog is a chihuahua/is chill w me , (is white bad? i’m scared i can’t buy her the best food or take her to the vet :< (oh god shout out to vets for doing the internal method i love my dog but he’ll no
Very nice mannered Vet. This is how it should be. Only do it if necessary and make sure to use gloves so you don't spread or cause infection. Exactly like this video, if your dog is distressed please stop and get your local Vet to do it. Remember they can't speak so you have to speak for them. ❤
Doctor, hw often can we do the anal expression? Evryday? My female chihuahua continues to scoot even aftr the vet expressed her glands. What else can we do? Does this only happen to female dogs?
I think their is a thing to doing this too much and not letting your dog do it naturally outside.I have a primitive breed dog and letting him outside to run and do it naturally saves on carpet cleaning.Just my opinion and observation.
I did that to my dog just now because her butt had discharge like yellow liquid and it was so fishy like unbearable. When i express it, it spilled and it smells so nasty. Haha. Now she doesn’t smell anymore.
I always have to watch for poop on her hair!! Sometimes it's a surprise like a Lil bit ago. So put her in sink washed w' my fingers&cut hair. But after I looked...it's just looks painful. I don't rub I use my hands under warm water so I don't stress her out anymore than I have to. So looking at her Lil bum it's so red!! Bumps on the outside. She has a tiny bum. She's a PorkyPoo her Mom is a Porky she has something that's not bum related. But Lucy I was wondering if something could go on that redness? She'll be 4 in November 3rd. Thank you
Who came up with dogs needing this I’ve watched many videos on this. And only one vet I seen do it the way it seem right and less painful. He squeezes the outside a few times then he inserts his pointing finger about a quarter inch inside anal. And presses to the left and so much came out and less painful then squeezing outside over and over.
It's ok I'm not laughing. It's a serious problem with some cats and dogs and can turn really bad and it's so expensive to take them to the vet especially with a constant problem and constant impaction. My cat is having a serious problem with anal glands and I cannot afford to get them expressed and keep going to the vet again and again it's so expensive. I'm trying to do it on my own but I don't know where the glands are and having a hard time. He lets me do it but cries. I could not go inside his backside because I'm not comfortable doing that and will leave that for the professional vet but I'm trying to express them on the outside. He lets me but it's not coming out. My dog dosen't have a problem with his anal glands just my cat.
I hate this video they talk so long and unnecessarily about so much it’s hard to get to the point 🙈 and it’s very agitating. I wish it was straight forward

Thank you for great information, I have two dogs and I we’ll do it myself to help save money. I feel confident after watching this video I can do it

Watching 5 different videos just to figure out my dogs glands are completely normal and he just needs to go poop again 😂😂😂
Watched many videos on the subject. Yours is the best. Thank you!

I'm so so sorry for your Rosie. xo
I am so sorry for your loss. It's devastating.
So sorry for your loss of sweet Rosie!
Thanks
Thanks for mentioning that sometimes you have to take pet to vet if expression seems unusual to rule out abscess or impacted glands.
Thank you iv never been able to do my girls glands before always done my boys , my girl is five tonight she's been really unhappy watched this and did the second one and oh my god it worked .
Shes happy and fast asleep thank you so so much x
Thanks doc! Best informstive explsnation and videp ever! Love that you get strsight the the point even speeding up the video!. 5 stars!

Wow she’s a great artist ❤
Thank you so much. Great information. My question is..how often should I do glands pressure?
This is the best video to explain it in details
No there’s another vet who does it better and quicker with less agitation.
th-cam.com/video/VXpIYcWpkBo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8I_cEXYx2iapcQUP
This is the best way
@@boundariessetinstone5893 Can you share the title of the video?
i really appreciate the thorough explanation, thank you
How long we need to repeat to do this for the dog?
Thanks
I loved your video!! Your drawing in the beginning was the reason why I watched started to watch the video. I ❤the drawing!!! Thank you for taking the time to video this for us.
Thank you, this was very helpful and informative
This is really well done, I admit giggling at the artwork tho 😂
Lolo..Pretty good picture you drew!!!
Great video. Note it can also be a bit more...stressful for small dogs because the finger size. Treat them how you'd want to be treated lol. Like she said...go slow and lots of lube. I'm about to head outside and take care of one of my doggos. Party time!

Thank you for this video. What if the stuff that comes out is a dirty whitish color?
Thank you so much your video it is the best on the subject!
Can you use refined coconut oil if you don’t have vaseline?
This kinda of helps I'm trying to understand where they are. I know this can turn into a serious problem if not emptied. My cat gets so impacted I don't know why
Is fresh-mixed dilute baking soda spray for wiping up afterwards an o.k.way to reduce the odor in his "nether regions"?
Im still having issues doing this... its very frustrating 😞 idk y im having such a hard time.
I cant seem to grab the glands. They seem to slip out of my grasp. I dont want to hurt the dog.
How often do you have to do this to your dog?
I rescue cats and have multiple cats had anal gland problems. When they start to smell I know it’s time. It’s so rough. My stinkys. One of our rescues had anal gland abscesses that burst and it was awful but I nursed him back to health after taking him to get meds at vet ER.
Thank you very informative. Have a pug, he's a little guy. Don't wanna hurt him. I'll try.
That poor vet tech’s legs 😂
My cat has had repeated events of anal fissures which I now understand has been caused by impacted anal glands. Thanks for the instructions on how I can help him in the future.
Vaseline isn't water-based or water soluble. What's the reason you use it?
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just curious if this is a better solution than water-based lube that I use.
What causes this? My shitzus pup is experiencing this and it’s kind of swollen I made a vet appointment for Monday but I’m just anxious and searching for ways to help the poor fella
My shitzu just started having this issue and it's a brown liquid and can have some gritty texture. Is the white more gritty? I just ordered anal gland support off of Amazon, to incorporate into his diet to add extra fiber and pumpkin. Maybe check into that too?
What if the glands feel full and tight? Should I still try to squeeze or will the gland pop?
as awkward as it is , i appreciate the information bc dogs put all their trust into us so we should give them the best. i’m so glad my dog is a chihuahua/is chill w me , (is white bad? i’m scared i can’t buy her the best food or take her to the vet :< (oh god shout out to vets for doing the internal method i love my dog but he’ll no
Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
I only see a dark screen. How come?
Thank you very much! 🙃💪
Very nice mannered Vet. This is how it should be. Only do it if necessary and make sure to use gloves so you don't spread or cause infection. Exactly like this video, if your dog is distressed please stop and get your local Vet to do it. Remember they can't speak so you have to speak for them. ❤
Thank you so much for this. It was nice and clear and Teddie would thank you if she could.
So my dog smells like she's been rolling in poop is this also because of the anal glands? Or is this a different scenario?
Thank you
Doctor, hw often can we do the anal expression? Evryday? My female chihuahua continues to scoot even aftr the vet expressed her glands. What else can we do? Does this only happen to female dogs?
Is her bame Dr. Kielbasa???????
I think a lot of scooting is anal itching. I wipe my dog every day with baby wipes , and he never does that. But he still have some anal gland issues.
Very good demonstration. Just a suggestion. It would have been helpful to see the actual method of milking the gland.
This dog looks uncharacteristically happy . why ?
I think their is a thing to doing this too much and not letting your dog do it naturally outside.I have a primitive breed dog and letting him outside to run and do it naturally saves on carpet cleaning.Just my opinion and observation.
I’ve read that a silicon-based lubricant is easier on the dog. Less cakey
❤
I did that to my dog just now because her butt had discharge like yellow liquid and it was so fishy like unbearable. When i express it, it spilled and it smells so nasty. Haha. Now she doesn’t smell anymore.
I always have to watch for poop on her hair!! Sometimes it's a surprise like a Lil bit ago. So put her in sink washed w' my fingers&cut hair.
But after I looked...it's just looks painful. I don't rub I use my hands under warm water so I don't stress her out anymore than I have to.
So looking at her Lil bum it's so red!! Bumps on the outside. She has a tiny bum.
She's a PorkyPoo her Mom is a Porky she has something that's not bum related. But Lucy I was wondering if something could go on that redness?
She'll be 4 in November 3rd. Thank you

I'm not getting involved in this activity.
ALL ANUSES ARE LIKE SNOWFLAKES! CHECK!
Do you have to do girl dogs?
Both genders
"if the anus were the clock"
How about DON'T do it in the kitchen?
you should play a little music when you give the dog the Dirty Sanchez.
I hate this video they talk so long and unnecessarily about so much it’s hard to get to the point 🙈 and it’s very agitating. I wish it was straight forward
DISGUSTING. Dogs are the vilest creatures. This is why I own cats. I don't find dogs even SLIGHTLY cute
Cats have them too. You're ignorant.
