3. Some precautions for cleaning the anal glands

1. It is very important to squeeze and clean the dog's anal glands regularly. If the dog's anal glands are not squeezed frequently, it can also cause inflammation of the anal glands. The technique must be noted: from bottom to top, from inside to outside, from light to heavy. Remember: when squeezing, it is best to cover the anus with a tissue or cotton to prevent the stinky water from splashing on the body.

2. If the glands have been blocked for a period of time, the secretions will be squeezed out like toothpaste instead of squirting, usually just by gently squeezing them out.

3. If the dog's anal gland is not easy to squeeze, another method is needed, that is, put the index finger and thumb on the slightly back part under the gland, and gently squeeze upward and outward. Normal secretions are pale yellowish-brown, with concentrations ranging from watery to creamy, with a foul odor. If there is pus and blood in the secretions, it means that you have been infected, and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

4. If you can feel the deposits, but cannot squeeze them out, it means that the anal glands have been blocked. You must deal with them as soon as possible and seek medical attention. Otherwise it will swell. In this case, the dog will lick the anus and slap on the ground. In severe cases, it will hurt. Due to the pain, the dog will sprint or chase the tail or lick or bite the base of the tail constantly, and eventually develop an abscess. The dog at this time is listless, refuses to eat, or becomes constipated.

5. Regularly check the sac in the anus and clean it once every two weeks or a month.
