Anyone out here with a doggie with over active anal glands???
My baby girl is a boxer pup (well not pup anymore, but she's so spoiled she thinks she's still baby!).
And lately we've been dealing with a FOUL smell out of her butt... we took her to the vet who said most likely she had over active anal glands plus he asked us if she was allergic to something... and she is! she sometimes gets hives real bad all over her body and her face gets real puffy!!!! (there's something outside in the yard she eats we can't figure what yet....)
Anyway, i was just wondering, should we have the vet express her anal glands every so often? if so, how often?? or how do you guys deal with this??? should i have my poor ole' husband give our pup some 'backdoor lovin''??? lol ;) and express her every so often???
Thanks!
