A necessary procedure to prevent discomfort and potential complications caused by gland blockages.
Anal glands, the hot topic of any day-to-day conversation! Anal gland material contains a scent for pets to mark their territory. They can become impacted and rupture if they are not being emptied naturally by the animal. When that happens, your dog can be quite uncomfortable and it can lead to more serious complications if left untreated. However, here at Mill Creek, we can help you with that!
If you have had a demonstration by a veterinarian professional, anal gland expression can be done at home.
When anal glands continue to fill without being naturally or manually expressed, it can cause discomfort. Dogs may show discomfort by licking at themselves, vocalizing when their hind end is touched, or scooting.
