    I love how he explains he explains so well and describes everything so you can understand and don’t rush through the videos and gives you the best examples of what you can give your dog. Love him great job and best best video I have encountered concerning this.

    I always let my vet sort my dog's medical issues out rather than having a go at amateur veterinary treatment. I'd be terrified of rupturing a gland, which is a very nasty thing to happen and can, at best, result in the surgical removal of the gland, which can, in turn, lead to incontinence.

    I'm big on Home remedies & treatments, as well as prevention - so now that I know she has the problem, I want to know ways to prevent, and then also treat it. My dog is around 14 and in otherwise good health, but this is a problem & I'm glad to see you verify some of my solutions to preventing & treating it. VERY useful and sensible video!! THANK YOU SO V. MUCH!!

    Great video. So many different aspects to consider to help ones pet. Most videos just show how to empty them and that's about it. Thank you

    Which fish oil do you recommend is complete vitamins necessary or just the pumpkin and fish oil is good.

    Great information. I noticed anal gland swelling within the past 2 years with Butterscotch who is now 8 years old. I don’t feed her soft foods, her poop is and has always been solid 2x/day. I usually take her to the vet technician to get them expressed [not frequently but more than in the past]. The vet has expressed her to lose 2-3 lbs and to start controlling her weight- she’s 8 yo, Shihtzu/Yorkie mix, weighing 19 lbs. This video helped me with some ideas to help her- more exercise, lose those 2-3 lbs and keep her at that weight, add omega fatty acids and the next time I take her to get her glands expressed ask what the consistency looks like.

    Please Do not play loud music on these videos! Just as you started to show how to express anal glands the loud music came on & couldn’t hear a word you said!
    This happens on many videos. Dump the background music 👍

    Oh I hate this gland thing so much. My dog is a bigger dog pit mix an he has to go once a month or every other month 😫he HATES going to the vet although he’s a very good while inside but it stresses me out. Thanks for the video tho I have new ideas as far as his diet 👍 more fiber maybe less chicken..

    My dog is a German Shepard and has had this problem for years she is 10 now I’ve always taken her the vet . They empty the glans and it’s ok for 3/4 months the vet has told me to worm her more often as that may help I will let you no if it does

    I am just trying to learn about this. I have never had a dog with anal gland issues, but my yellow lab ruptured an anal gland over the weekend. It swelled and then got angry and red and ruptured overnight before I could get him in to the vet the next day. I felt so awful for him!!! He was in so much pain!! The vets in our area will not do on call over the weekend and I only found one with actual weekend hours. I had to take him to a vet that was not his own vet, but he really needed help. He is on antibiotics and a pain pill right now.

      Hi, I’m sorry to hear you going through this too, it’s horrible to see our dogs in pain. How’s yours doing now? Mine had same issue 9 days ago. Wound is better but he’s still in so much pain (he’s fine when on painkillers). I’m trying to find similar experiences to know how long this could last

    • @naomimay82
      @naomimay82 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@TheWanderwai ❤️ My dog is fully recovered. He was only on the pain pills the first 24 hours. He had all his energy back and didn’t act like he was in pain after that. It has been about a month and the only sign of his ordeal is that the fur on his bum has not fully grown back in. He lost the fur on the whole area that was swollen. I hope your dog recovers quickly!!! They truly are a part of our families and it really hurts to see them in pain.

      Of course. Scary this fool is spreading such bad information. All those processed toxic dog foods are the #1 cause of these problems. The last thing they need is more fiber. It hearts my heart to think how much suffering this fool is causing.

    My bichon has anal issues once a month the vet expresses them (we try to space it out as its very scary for him to get them expressed)
    I'd do it myself but he snaps as he is scared of his butt being touched
    If I could do it myself I would but it would be too distressing for him at this point

  • @deeedwards2195

    Both my dogs have anal glands issues now. My 8 year old mixed has had it for two years. I give him pumpkin in his Purina pro plan salmon. My 3 year old miniature golden doodle just started a week ago and I give him Hills diet for sensitive stomach. Now I express my 8 year old every 3 weeks. What else can I do to help them. Any advice would be greatly appreciate.

    My dog recently had gland issues. My vet said I need to get him neutered to prevent his prostate from enlarging and happening again. Is this true? I don't see anything on the Internet about it.

  • @Stretch843

    I was told the glands were used to mark territory and all dogs seem ro have allergies because this damn dog food. I highly recommend for every dog owner to give your dog a whole pill (half for smaller dogs) of stomach enzymes with probiotics and prebiotics once a day and I want to say the tablets are like $12 at Walmart. My dogs will take them atraight out of my hand as they enjoy the taste. Fish oil with omega 3 & 6 are good but I think they recommend vitamin E with it
    Dogs on fish oil may benefit from adding vitamin E. The polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish oil that are so good for your dog can deplete vitamin E stores over time.Mar 22, 2023
    I supplement garlic capsules and add coconut oil to there foods as well.
    I've replaced pancreas and liver prescribed pills with supplements on 2 older dachshunds so just do your research people! Just watch the dose and dont so it everyday. And trust me, they will thank you!

    My Chow mix, Sasha, has had this problem for 8 of her 9 years. I had her tested for allergies and she has MANY. It's hard to find food she CAN eat and WILL eat. She's the only dog I've ever known that is not a good eater. I tried pumpkin supplements and she hates them. It's hard enough to get her to eat anything. She loves her Nature Naws and marrow bones (from the butcher). I've had to have her expressed every month and at times 2 x a month. I hate it because she screams like a little girl. I was feeding her beef tripe mixed in her Science diet (Utlamino) because she dislikes the dry food. Now I'm trying Farmer's Dog. I'm at my wits end. Thank you for your video! I will try to relieve her with warm compacts., but she hates anyone around her butt. Sasha will only tolerate me grooming her butt area when she's very tired (after long walk).

      So, I took my boy in and it was a glad. Not bad though. He came out literally skipping!!🤣 She told me to give him white rice and boiled chicken breast for a while and to gradually start back with his food after his bowels got better. They did with the antibiotics and diarrhea med. He has been fine now so that was great info!! Thank You🥰🥰

    Would it be safe or healthy for them to start anal gland removal procedures… kind of like we have a gallbladder but can live without it?
    That would be wonderful… ughh.
    I hope gallbladder is the right body part I’m thinking of because I’m having a complete brain fart while typing this…

    Thanks !
    We have been fighting this problem with our Malte-Poo for many years now.
    Manual expression is completed when she is suffering, but we have found that giving her pumpkin
    (the ground up pumpkin meat with no seeds - think pumpkin pie filling without sugar) mixed together with Hill’s Science dry dog food really helps and acts as a preventative measure.
    My husband has commented that the malodorous liquid that is generated by the dog’s anal glands smells just like
    “Old DemonCrap”. It’s like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden with a little Hunter “Pederast” Biden mixed in.

    I should've done that to my bull terrier I had. Removal of the gland would've been the best option. On 6/6/2015, she died after being ran over by a car when she was following me on my golf cart I had. When I started guitar lessons back in 2016, I sold it so I could focus on my music.
