Teddy what should I do if the dog's anus is red and swollen? I heard the Teddy moaning when I got up early, and it felt very strange, so I carefully observed the Tai Dee dog. Later, he lifted the tail of the teddy dog and found that the anus of the teddy dog had become red and swollen. I don't know when the teddy dog's condition started, let alone why the teddy dog's anus is red and swollen?

A dog friend said that this It may be that the teddy's anal glands are inflamed. From a scientific point of view, the anal glands of teddy dogs, also known as anal sacs, are a pair of pear-shaped glands, located on both sides of the dog's anus at about four o'clock and eight o'clock. There is an opening. The anal gland sac is filled with anal gland fluid, which will turn black or dark brown liquid or mud after a long time, and the smell is also unpleasant.
Sometimes, when a teddy is frightened or stressed, its anal sphincter will contract and anal gland fluid will be discharged. However, the accumulation of anal gland fluid for a long time, it is necessary to carry out the necessary cleaning to prevent its inflammation. Sometimes when you find a teddy puppy rubbing its butt on the ground, it may be that the dog's anal gland outlet is blocked and there is inflammation. At this point, the teddy's anal glands may become red and swollen.
Clinical studies have found that when the anal glands of teddy dogs are mildly blocked, the dog will grind the buttocks on the ground or lick the buttocks with their feet raised; in severe cases, the anal glands are swollen and painful, which will make it difficult for the dog to defecate. even more pain. Therefore, in the process of raising teddy dogs, it is necessary to regularly clean the anal glands of teddy dogs to keep the anal glands healthy and normal, and prevent them from becoming red and swollen.
