It would be my pleasure to spray a few blasts of cayenne pepper straight up your stupid asshole and see how u like it. Bobbye, you arent any smarter. You stick needles in a dogs ears to cure an anal gland problem. Why didnt I think of that!? U actually believed that shit, wow. I dont know who is more stupid. This isnt the animal abuse hotline. Both of your methods are disgusting. I have never witnessed two people brag about mistreating pets like this in my life. I thought it had to be a joke, but it is just two morons abusing animals.

Foremost, my dog is 13 years old and seven pound yorkie. I see the risks of anestesia at her age and was nervous about it. Today I read the post about the Cavalier spaniel above and it gave me hope as she has an abscess that burst and an infection that is being cleared with two weeks of antibiotics. I plan to follow the steps they did and buy the epsom salt tonight. Thank you soooo much for having this great site!!! I'll keep you guys posted! :) For the last five days I have been looking for an alternative to the anal sac removal surgery my vet had recommended.

He is my first dog that I have to express his anal glands at least every 3 weeks or he leaks. Ugh. It seems like it is getting more frequent that I need to express his glands. I had to do it last night after only 2 1/4 weeks as he leaked on the front seat of my car (no scooting, licking, etc, just leaking and stinking). He gets a premium food, tons of exercise, etc. Only once was the discharge thicker and I think infected, otherwise, it's a clear yellow, but oh so smelly. Is there something I can do to reduce the production or storage of this fluid? thanks, jennifer Hello – I have a young border collie – 2 1/2 years old.

I read somewhere that adding fibersure to your dog's food or water would help. What dosage though? My mini schnauzer/terrier weighs 20 pounds. Thanks Hello!

The solution is pretty simple. In fact with this approach you can pretty much schedule your Cocker like clockwork. To get him/her started each day, give 4oz of Sunsweet Prune Juice from Walgreens (used to use Fiber One bars - see previous posts). The theory here is; regular BM's reduce pressure on anal glands. If you need to counteract the Prune Juice effect, then feed him/her a coconut macaroon (read this in newspaper to address nervous Greyhound stomach). Refine the dietary supplements as necessary for desired effect. This is provided as guidance only. Use at your own risk. Lynne,

Try to be as patient as possible with your cocker. I know my wife, Betty, has similar problems as Bobbye. She can be the sweetest thing on God's green earth, but let her piles start acting up and me and the dogs go to the other end of the property! She can just sit down wrong (she's a rather husky woman) and whammo, momma's gonna need an exorcist. I think it's the same way with a dog's bottom discomfort. And I know it sounds crazy, but Bobbye's right about the Kroger birthday cake, too. It works! For our dogs' anal sac problems and my wife likes cake, too! Do NOT try the accupuncture thing, but if all else fails, see the above entry concerning the shop vac. Solved mine and Betty's problem. Lynne,Bobbye is right.

I have two male cockers, so I'm fairly knowledged about them and their ASP's (Anal Sac Problems). See previous posts, but I will make a couple of quick helpful comments. One, I know I, myself, as a human being am accused of "being nasty at times, and I know it is my (his) butt.". When my ole donkey (rear-end) is smokin' hot, I can be one irritable man. So first, try to put yourself in his shoes... if your bottom hurt like it had been stung by a swarm of bees, I think you'll agree you might not be too cheery. Second, for me and my dogs, Kroger birthday cake has done a LOT...(see posts above). Do NOT..I repeat, do NOT try accupuncture on your dog if anyone recommends that. Good luck. -- Bobbye -- Lynne,

I followed through with instructions of having the stitches removed at the Vets on specified time, only to learn they had become imbedded. Because he was in pain, the Vet suggested I take him back and get myself another dog. Instead, I took him to another Vet and had him checked out, and he told me he was doing fine. Thought that was the end of my problems, but he has a chronic anal gland, and becomes very agressive with my other dog, a schnauzer/terrior mix. After sending him to boot camp, whereas, he was given very good marks on everything, he comes home only to be the dog he was before. So now I express his anal gland, and although it has calmed him down, he is still being nasty at times, and I know it is his butt. I feed him Hollistic foods, but I do give him skinned chicken breasts from the table, and sometimes carrots that have been cooked. Oh, and I wipe his butt with Tucks after expressing it. I'll take all the help I can get, because I'm a determined cuss who have my dogs as my constant companions.

She is still scooting her butt though right before or after she has a bowel movement. Is this normal? Her butt isn't red of inflamed at all. But, still seems to be bothering her. This was the first time she had the procedure done. My golden retriever had her anal glands expelled by the vet 4 days ago.
