• Julie Beveridge Posted : 5/2/2006 8:50:11 PM Cannot see any pics so don't know what you are talking about.  Usually anal gland problems symptoms are scooting, biting, licking around the tail end. Does the dog have these symptoms? Julie 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• puggylover Posted : 5/2/2006 10:23:53 PM I've never had problems with anal glands before, but this looks like it needs to be looked at by a vet.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• loveukaykay Posted : 5/2/2006 10:29:00 PM I dont think that looks like it has to do with the anal glands... I guess its possible as I am CERTAINLY not a vet... but those are on the inside.  It looks to me like some sort of staff infection that has gotten really out of hand.  It also looks painful and I would get to the vet asap. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 5/3/2006 8:57:20 PM OUCH! There may or may not be anal glands involved, but that looks VERY uncomfortable, and that dog needs to see a vet. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• marlania Posted : 5/4/2006 1:57:07 PM Ouch, that looks rather painful. There's definitely more than anal glands going on there. I'm not saying the dog doesn't need them expressed, but you really should head to the vet to get this taken care of as quickly as possible. Hope it gets better soon. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Gin Posted : 5/4/2006 7:20:17 PM It was an infected anal gland. The vet squeezed it out  and gave me some oral anti biotics for him.  I have to go back in 2 days for a check up. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
