External Anal Gland Expression

Service Description

Normally, when dogs have a bowel movement, it expresses their glands naturally, releasing anal gland fluid. Dogs may also involuntarily express their own anal glands when they are scared or stressed. If your dog is displaying signs of discomfort such as Scooting, Frequently turning to lick or bite their hind end, Straining to poop, Showing discomfort when pooping (dyschezia) or Not wanting to sit, or you notice a frequent fishy odor, I can check your dog's anal glands to prevent impaction, infection or access, and ruptured glands.
