I have 7 dogs and I have always done all of mine about once a month during bath time. I have a pug that recently seems very irritated. He doesnt scoot but chases his butt around in a circle. And since hes short and stubby he can never get it. But Im worried it may be imapacted. He'll spend hours chasing his butt trying to itch it. Should I take him to the vet?

Dude, this is what I pay a VET for. Jesus!

@yogozarfy It smells fishy, like rotten fish and rotten egg sort of stuff. The anal gland's fluid is actually an oily substance, so it really sticks to stuff and a whiff of it will wake up a dead stick, or kill a live one.

interesting

I read that most dog groomers do this for you. I was going to try it myself but after watching it, I would hate to hurt them or get stinky brown stuff everywhere. And I have three dogs so that's a lot of stinky brown stuff.

Thank you. Good information, and very nicely explained.

Out of curiosity, how bad does the anal gland fluid smell, and what exactly does it smell like? Is it just like a worse version of dog poo? Or worse...

My sister's dog had a blocked gland, and they excised it, and she had to squeeze it periodically. When she squeezed it, a plug shot out and hit her on the forehead. I begged her to let me film it, but she said no. I would have posted it. :(

Regular expressing of the anal gland is NOT recomended!I f the dog is scooting or they feel swollen this may be helpfull.However doing it regularly can cause an imbalance in the natural process or even damage the glands themselves.Regular stools typically do this for the animal naturally,the glands are there to scent the waste.Constantly soft or runny stools will not allow this process to occur.If there are signs of infection do not perform expression,take your animal to the vet.
