HELP PLEASE

My dog was groomed and had her anal glands cleaned, popped or whatever they do to them. She had been dragging herself across the floor and I was told this was the remedy.

Now, two days later, she's gnawing at the area constantly. When she's not gnawing, she's dragging herself. When I take her outside to go to the bathroom, she won't do anything but sit or drag herself. I tried holding  a wash cloth with warm water there but that didn't do anything

The vet is closed and I don't know what to do.

Any ideas or help or anything? She's miserable.

I've heard of a 2nd opinion, but never 6.  Stick to one or two, any more and you'll drive yourself crazy.  

Also, get him to the Vet ASAP.. bleeding is usually never a good thing.  Better to get him checked out.

My 9 year old poodle/mix has lost the use of his back legs to where they give out from under him. Per Vet, I've had him on prednisone and gabapenton or just carprofin, he was ok and could walk for a while but now is bleading out his back end I asume from the meds. I've been to 6 different vets and all with different opinions. Please, I'm desperate, anyone out there can relate or help me with this?
Thanks guys
