Any advice on calming my dog down.I can touch her any-where apart from the dreaded Bum,and it costs me a small fortune.The only way I can see me doing this is tying her to the bath taps(which will probably come loose) Before that resort any advice PLEASE ?
any advice for a normal dob,like ~ GET YOUR FINGER AWAY OR I WILL BITE YOUR HAND ~ Attitude.As my dog,which I have had since a puppy,suffers from this and will not let me near her.I could tie her to the taps in the bath ? Any Advice before I go to the vets again Please !
Ok let me WARN you BEFORE you do this! I tryed this on my dog ... had my finger in his bum and started to try and feel for the gland ...... and then his bum moved on the inside (clenched) and ive never been the same since ... Im going to hell for putting my finger in my dogs bum ... its weird and I wish I had never tryed it ... I let my vet be the weirdo now.
Thanks so much. My bulldog has issues with his anal glands, and I have been trying to figure out hoe to express them! This will surely help with his skin problems.
Veterinarians always stick their finger up for better drainage, but with gloves YOU can just squeeze the outside of of the anus, kinda like popping a pimple, it relieves your dog and you don't have to pay for your vet to do it. I would suggest doing it while your dog is in the bathtub right before you give them a bath. Its simple and works. If your dog has constant problems with their anal glands, then you should visit your veterinarian.
DON'T DO IT! DOGS ARE LIKE HUMANS. ALL PEOPLE AND ANIMALS HAVE LUBRICATING GLANDS JUST INSIDE THE ANUS. HUMANS WIPE AND WASH! MOST DOGS DO NOT. THEREFORE RESIDUE CAKES UP! JUST WIPE WITH WARM WATER BEFORE DEFECATION. THIS ALLOWS THE ANAL GLANDS TO FREELY EXPRESS THEMSELVES NATURALLY. DON'T FALL FOR THE INCOMPETENCE OF VETS AND HELPERS INJURING YOUR DOGS FOR LIFE BY THIS INCOMPETENT MALPRACTICE PROCEDURE THAT ONLY MAKES YOUR DOG A LIFETIME RETURNING PURPOSELY INJURED PATIENT! YOUR DOGS FRIEND ED!
GOOD ENOUGH.When you search for dog anal expression you will find dogs both large & tiny are being subjected to this horrid form of alleged treatment that is done by incompetents who grossly irritate the anal opening, & many dogs suffer from unbearable swelling and then need surgery. All these quack money scheme unecessary treatments do is pay the bills for the doctors swimming pools homes and etc. Go ahead and destroy your dogs sphincter muscle too. Bullshit on that!
@95thousandroses bwaaahaaahaaaa oh man I was hoping there would be a comment as gold as this. Thank you!!! But yeah my retriever needs this done, he juices when he gets scared, and im sick of it!
This is embarrassing but its informative. My poor pup has butt problems... but its way too expensive to have vets do it. Wish me luck! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
My cousin worked as a vet for nearly 20yrs, but last year was arrested on animal cruelty charges.
It turns out he unnecessarily put down potentially hundreds of animals over the years, diagnosing them terminally ill when in fact they were just suffering from minor, fully treatable ailments. He would give the owners nauseatingly ‘sympathetic’ talks about how lethal injection was “the best, kindest thing we can do”.
His reasons for doing this were unclear- he remained silent during his trial.
@SuperTruth77 I'm afraid the only answer may be to put him down. When he gets out of jail (and there's a very good chance he won't do much time at all), watch the fucker like a hawk. Sick and cruel; bad combo.
Great dog. May take two of us for our Bordie Collie. Must say I appreciate the vet encouraging people to do simply remedies on their animals. Shows he is in a profession because he loves it and not because he just wants to make money. What a concept!
Thanks for explaining this so clearly, my dog shows distress by scratching his belly and making patches of skin sore when his anal glands need unblocking. The dog clearly feels happier if this problem is kept to a minimum and the scratching habit lessens within a day once the glands are expressed. The hot compress info is really helpful, many thanks.

Oh man, I just did this to my Pitt Bella & she was NOT docile and calm like this doggy! She growled and bucked. When our Vet did it he muzzled her but she was pretty still and calm she let out 1 growl and that was it. I swear I was gonna cry cuz my Bella was so upset :( She feels better now :)
This video was very helpful, when my husky wasn't going to the bathroom, I was freaking out. But learning about how to do this without going to the vet made me feel a lot better.
people shouldn't be encouraged to do this at home because of the possibility of injuries. squeeze too hard and you can damage your dog's glands and cause them further problems.
i need to try it....my vet chharges 20 bucks and petco is 8 bucks but petco didnt get it all out...dogs with allergies need this done ...my dog needs squeezed once a month or hell get an infection and smell like fish and scoot carpet and then vet bills...so im gonna order gloves,ky lube,and pet wipes then ill try it..now ill save money since kingsley is only 2 yrs old
You can tell if your dog has plugged glands also if you find your dog scooting on the floor dragging his butt along the ground or your carpet ( horrors)
The dog feels the pressure inside there and it is really unpleasant for him or her.
Aslo this is not a pleasant thing to do, the dog feels much better after.
Dr. Jones u r so cool i wish I had someone like u as my dogs vet. She is a chocolate lab 11 years old with anal gland problems. The vet wants to do a procedure called anal gland infusion before that happens I'm going to try the flax and i heard pure pumkin is good too. I have tried the hot compress she like them.
Thank You, Thank YOU, I am one of those ppl who has spent money on the vet just for this procedure. Now I think I'm confident enough to handle my dachshund's drip butt. That's what I call it ( DRIP BUTT)
Hello, venez sur ma chaîne mvrmsla7 d'éloïse chantal vlammiros, vous trouverez des vidéos films, des vidéos photos nombreuses sur tous mes love cats, bonne lecture, n'hésitez pas à les partager, thank you, good by, kiss !!!!!
GROSS!!! i tried doing that but i just felt wrong. so i have my vet doing it. there's just something about sticking your finger in there where it don't belong... sorry but that just me.
Thank God for this video...my dog has constantly been looking at that area, I was worried that it was something worse......for love of my Boxer girl, I put on a rubber glove as directed and did the deed, it was just as you said, I could feel the sacs.....they were so full and one was infected....trust me.....will call vet for antibiotic and my girl is sooooo grateful....I just can't thank you enough!!! Bless you!!
I think that is what my dog needs she smell soooo bad we have her out side for that reason we have to take her to the bet cuz i will neve stick my finger there
Such a good dog. He should give it a click and a treat after doing that so that the little doggie knows there is a reward for being good. We just love our dogs.
@ervanir3- he said give a spoon per 40lbs 2x a day. So if your dogs is 20 lbs give 1 spoon, 60lbs 2.5spoons, 80lbs you would give 4 spoons a days, etc....
This was truly an informative video. I had a Border Collie who recently passed away at 15 yrs old. She had anal problems for about the last 5 years of her life. Although I knew how to do it myself, my dog wasn't have it. I always had to take her to the vet so that all of the assistants and vet could hold her down. It usually took a min. of 4 people. Is their a sedative or something for dogs that are not as well behaved as the one in the video?
You mentioned in your video you give one teaspoon Flaxseed for a 40 lb.dog 2 times a day. I just want to make sure I understand your recommendation, the total for the day would be 2 tsp. Is that correct?
This video was VERY informative. There are many more on YouTube. I never knew what the dogs fish like rear-end smell was but this was it! Thanks YouTube Ive learned more from this website than in Highschool.
Too bad there is so much immaturity out there. Posting this video was a good idea. With the economy so bad some have to do away with things like vet visits. I know that sounds cruel but it is a fact of life. To be able to help relieve your pet of discomfort is a blessing. Your doing a great service to the community and many of us appreciate it.
@aura984 and he is a great dr helping people care for their pets. when a pet needs help i dont think they care if their dr is gay. do you not want a gay dr to care for you or your pet? get some mental help.
Not once does he mention that the smell is like rotten fish guts....lol or if you get it on your clothes, it's a bitch of a smell o get out. I work at a vet and we do these every day...lol
@eam623 I need to do this to my dog, but will take her to Petco tomorrow. i know what you mean about the smell though. Years ago before I knew about this ,another dog I had tied in the back of my truck fell over the side. I put her back in but there was this terrible smell like burnt rubber. Was so gross I couldn't get the smell out of my nose for a long time. Eww.
my two golden retrievers have this problem every month. They eat grass to let me know they are having problems. The vet said they were some what out of position. I give them fiber but I will try the flax. I have a hard time with the smaller dog because it seems to hurt her and I am very gentle - taking my time and not squeezing hard but it takes about five minutes till I can finally get them empty. Will the hot compress cause them to express on their own or losen them up? thanks
My cat does NOT like when I do this. I have a diploma in animal care before I took law & learned how to do this. I just squeeze them from the outside and it comes out...yuck but stops butt scootin boogie
We have a groomer that does this for $5 if you let her groom your dog or $10 without a grooming... I think I'll let her keep doing it too, looks pretty nasty, My cat though, had to have this done as hers were infected. I was charged $185... maybe because it took three people to hold the cat down. Who would have thought that 5 lb cat would have been that pissed to have that vets 6 inch finger up her bum...
I couldn't stop laughing the whole time I watched this... but thanks for posting. My sister worked at a vet's office and would talk about doing this while we all ate dinner.
My dogs freak when I pull into the parking lot of my vets office for their shots & teeth cleaning; which I try to do at same time ! Since they are short haired they do not go to a groomer. Heck yes I will do this at home to avoid causing undo stress to my baby; because I would be heading to my vets more than I wanted to just to do this procedure I could make my husband do at home. Thank you for the video help!
hey i have a question. i have a bulldog ( one year old) female and shes always groomed in petsmart after the grooming i notice that her but is bleeding but i just ignore it coz i thought that was temporary and after several weeks it still doing it. we visit a vet already but they suggest that if the medicine dint work they going to cut something . my question is do you think the cause of this problem is the groomer doing it wrong?
I would like to thank you for this tutorioal. Bless your heart! It may be gross but because the economy is what it is some people cat afford the vet and personally if my dog is suffering I have to help him! I appreciate any do it your self info. Keep it up Doc you are an Angel!!
Thanks a lot for this video, it is after 1 in the morning here and my dog was scooting and seemed very annoyed, so right after seeing you, I took my glove and carefully did exactly what you said. I've tried it before and had issues, but this time it was very easy thanks to you. My dog thanks you. About the flax. Would that 2x a day be for a limited time only, or on the regular? And is it good for cats too, and at what dosage? Thanks again.
Very helpful for us, we have a 5 month Springer Spaniel who has had a gland problem since she was ten weeks old. Believe me if I had to take her to the vet to do this it would get expensive, as we have 2 other dogs ( lucky for us, they don't have any of that stank butt going on! ) Thank you.
thanks man, my chocolate lab sometimes 'expresses' them himself, but fuck, its 1am and he just 'expressed' a tiny bit of the smelliest stuff on my fucking bed. it stinks so bad. he usually does this like every now and then not often and it usually smells, but its gross on my bed.
@mikecuzins What wasn't mentioned in this video is that normally dogs will express their anal glands when they defecate, & sometimes they will do this when they are excited or even relaxed. It stinks, but it's normal. There's no need to express your dog's anal glands unless there's a reason why they aren't expressing on their own e.g., diarrhea b/c firm normal stools express the glands as they pass out of the anus.
I had a long, detailed comment typed out on my iPhone, but when I tried to send, I got a message that YouTube was unavailable. So, short version is that I have a black Lab with anal distress this week, watched your video, followed your instructions and had great success! We are both resting comfortably now. Thanks, from a guy who already spends about $5,000 annualy on five (current count) rescued animals. This saved one of the many visits to the animal hospital this year!
My Name was created for chat with son when he was in Iraq.
U_pleH_doG <---Read Backward hee now, When she feels the relief I think she will bond so much closer and trust me more to help her when she needs it. If you can't due it for your dog, you couldn't come through for a family member.
I tried to squeeze on just the outside like another vet did in another video, & nothing, but I could feel a bit of a bulge...will have to try again with a glove & lubrication.
My chihuahua thanks u! she was so miserable before I tried this with a warm tea bag compress of chamomile tea for 5 min first then a tiny pinky finger and ten min later she was her happy self again and wanted to eat and play and run which she wasnt doing befiore for awhile! thank you!
There's no dignity on the internet - but I suspect the dog knows this already...! This video was very helpful. I has able to sort out my Staffie and make him much more comfortable, thanks to the clip. The vet is REALLY cute too!
What should normal fluid look like? I've seen different videos where the consistency fluctuates. Some seems to be a thin green colored liquid, while others are much thicker and darker. Does it vary from dog to dog? Or is the thicker darker stuff the result of a problem?
Trommer21: How is the dog clearly sedated?! I have a 60 lb Golden who holds still for me while I express her glands.
It's not so easy to rupture a gland as you think and the vet does a good job of instructing to "GENTLY squeeze."
I doubt one would go looking for vids on anal gland expression unless they were familiar with the issue. It's not plausible to assume that one will stumble on this video and go, "Hm, I should stick my finger up my dog's rear and squeeze around for the fun of it!"
better leave this to the professional...if u make a mistake the dog may not like it...but this dog is really impressive bec he is a very well behave dog=)
That is the best behaved dog. Not to be rude to Vets or Vet students, but I feel that if someone is capable of performing this at home then you should. My vet told me to give my dog green beans, which does not help at all! But, as a nurse I feel very comfortable with this action and I feel telling people not to perform this at home is like telling my patients to not give themselves an enema at home if it is needed. Both are safe as long as proper instructions are given before hand. Great Video!
sweet dog - I have two golden retrievers who seem to have a regular problem with their glands - I have no problem expressing them - I do it very gently but it seems they may be clogged - the hot compress will unclog the glands? Then you express or does the compress express? I do it because I care about my girls - it seems they always bite their butt at night and I don't want them in their crate biting their but all night - I want them to sleep with out pain or irritation - so don't criticize.
If you cared about your dog, you wouldn't be doing it at all. Veterinary students don't go through 5+ years of training just for some ill-educated owner to go out there and try doing it themselves. Sorry to be rude, but owners who think that their vets are ripping them off are massively deluded.
Worked great!

Dr. Jones u r so cool i wish I had someone like u as my dogs vet. She is a chocolate lab 11 years old with anal gland problems. The vet wants to do a procedure called anal gland infusion before that happens I'm going to try the flax and i heard pure pumkin is good too. I have tried the hot compress she like them.

My mother's dog stunk of anal gland juices and she ended up with an infection, smells so gross.

Thank God for this video...my dog has constantly been looking at that area, I was worried that it was something worse......for love of my Boxer girl, I put on a rubber glove as directed and did the deed, it was just as you said, I could feel the sacs.....they were so full and one was infected....trust me.....will call vet for antibiotic and my girl is sooooo grateful....I just can't thank you enough!!! Bless you!!

@ervanir3- he said give a spoon per 40lbs 2x a day. So if your dogs is 20 lbs give 1 spoon, 60lbs 2.5spoons, 80lbs you would give 4 spoons a days, etc....

This was truly an informative video. I had a Border Collie who recently passed away at 15 yrs old. She had anal problems for about the last 5 years of her life. Although I knew how to do it myself, my dog wasn't have it. I always had to take her to the vet so that all of the assistants and vet could hold her down. It usually took a min. of 4 people. Is their a sedative or something for dogs that are not as well behaved as the one in the video?

Hi Dr. Jones,
You mentioned in your video you give one teaspoon Flaxseed for a 40 lb.dog 2 times a day. I just want to make sure I understand your recommendation, the total for the day would be 2 tsp. Is that correct?
Please respond. Thanks Kris

Too bad there is so much immaturity out there. Posting this video was a good idea. With the economy so bad some have to do away with things like vet visits. I know that sounds cruel but it is a fact of life. To be able to help relieve your pet of discomfort is a blessing. Your doing a great service to the community and many of us appreciate it.

Years ago before I knew about this ,another dog I had tied in the back of my truck fell over the side. I put her back in but there was this terrible smell like burnt rubber. Was so gross I couldn't get the smell out of my nose for a long time. Eww.

my two golden retrievers have this problem every month. They eat grass to let me know they are having problems. The vet said they were some what out of position. I give them fiber but I will try the flax. I have a hard time with the smaller dog because it seems to hurt her and I am very gentle - taking my time and not squeezing hard but it takes about five minutes till I can finally get them empty. Will the hot compress cause them to express on their own or losen them up? thanks

We have a groomer that does this for $5 if you let her groom your dog or $10 without a grooming... I think I'll let her keep doing it too, looks pretty nasty, My cat though, had to have this done as hers were infected. I was charged $185... maybe because it took three people to hold the cat down. Who would have thought that 5 lb cat would have been that pissed to have that vets 6 inch finger up her bum...

My dogs freak when I pull into the parking lot of my vets office for their shots & teeth cleaning; which I try to do at same time ! Since they are short haired they do not go to a groomer. Heck yes I will do this at home to avoid causing undo stress to my baby; because I would be heading to my vets more than I wanted to just to do this procedure I could make my husband do at home. Thank you for the video help!

hey i have a question. i have a bulldog ( one year old) female and shes always groomed in petsmart after the grooming i notice that her but is bleeding but i just ignore it coz i thought that was temporary and after several weeks it still doing it. we visit a vet already but they suggest that if the medicine dint work they going to cut something . my question is do you think the cause of this problem is the groomer doing it wrong?

Thanks a lot for this video, it is after 1 in the morning here and my dog was scooting and seemed very annoyed, so right after seeing you, I took my glove and carefully did exactly what you said. I've tried it before and had issues, but this time it was very easy thanks to you. My dog thanks you. About the flax. Would that 2x a day be for a limited time only, or on the regular? And is it good for cats too, and at what dosage? Thanks again.

thanks man, my chocolate lab sometimes 'expresses' them himself, but fuck, its 1am and he just 'expressed' a tiny bit of the smelliest stuff on my fucking bed. it stinks so bad. he usually does this like every now and then not often and it usually smells, but its gross on my bed.
i hope there isn't a problem?
mikecuzins 1 year ago
@mikecuzins What wasn't mentioned in this video is that normally dogs will express their anal glands when they defecate, & sometimes they will do this when they are excited or even relaxed. It stinks, but it's normal. There's no need to express your dog's anal glands unless there's a reason why they aren't expressing on their own e.g., diarrhea b/c firm normal stools express the glands as they pass out of the anus.

I had a long, detailed comment typed out on my iPhone, but when I tried to send, I got a message that YouTube was unavailable. So, short version is that I have a black Lab with anal distress this week, watched your video, followed your instructions and had great success! We are both resting comfortably now. Thanks, from a guy who already spends about $5,000 annualy on five (current count) rescued animals. This saved one of the many visits to the animal hospital this year!

What should normal fluid look like? I've seen different videos where the consistency fluctuates. Some seems to be a thin green colored liquid, while others are much thicker and darker. Does it vary from dog to dog? Or is the thicker darker stuff the result of a problem?
hughiehound 1 year ago
@hughiehound:
I've watched a few other videos.
A healthy example is quite fluid and looks amber-tinted.
An infected example is quite thick (like paste) and is dark in colour.

Trommer21: How is the dog clearly sedated?! I have a 60 lb Golden who holds still for me while I express her glands.
It's not so easy to rupture a gland as you think and the vet does a good job of instructing to "GENTLY squeeze."
I doubt one would go looking for vids on anal gland expression unless they were familiar with the issue. It's not plausible to assume that one will stumble on this video and go, "Hm, I should stick my finger up my dog's rear and squeeze around for the fun of it!"

That is the best behaved dog. Not to be rude to Vets or Vet students, but I feel that if someone is capable of performing this at home then you should. My vet told me to give my dog green beans, which does not help at all! But, as a nurse I feel very comfortable with this action and I feel telling people not to perform this at home is like telling my patients to not give themselves an enema at home if it is needed. Both are safe as long as proper instructions are given before hand. Great Video!

sweet dog - I have two golden retrievers who seem to have a regular problem with their glands - I have no problem expressing them - I do it very gently but it seems they may be clogged - the hot compress will unclog the glands? Then you express or does the compress express? I do it because I care about my girls - it seems they always bite their butt at night and I don't want them in their crate biting their but all night - I want them to sleep with out pain or irritation - so don't criticize.

If you cared about your dog, you wouldn't be doing it at all. Veterinary students don't go through 5+ years of training just for some ill-educated owner to go out there and try doing it themselves. Sorry to be rude, but owners who think that their vets are ripping them off are massively deluded.
