Also, biting at their rear end and chasing their tail. My vet will express anal glands for $15, my groomer will do it for $5. It usually takes 3 days (After expression) for the symptoms to go away.  Common in Toy breeds and easy to fix.......Good luck.  Karla

dragging their butt on the floor, excessive licking, leaking and the horrible fishy smell! vets & groomers can express the glands for you so you don't have to, its pretty gross!
