在其他狗狗的BBS上看到说狗狗需要挤肛门腺，但是去vet那边也没听说需要。不知道这里养狗狗的MM有没有帮爱狗挤的。我不敢挤，而且我们家桑妮好活泼啊，把她放在台子上洗耳朵都要费好大力气了。

不知道有没有必要这么做，说是如果肛门腺被堵塞，会食欲不振，严重还会肛门腺发炎，看得我帕帕的。

发一张挤肛门腺的示范图片:

需要。如果狗狗定期去groomer有时候他们会帮忙挤掉。我们自己给狗狗弄，有次一边没有挤干净，到vet那边去清理了。

如果发现狗狗老是不停的拿屁股擦地毯就差不多要处理一下了。

咳咳     我们家是男狗狗，个人以为狗狗是无法舔到自己的小屁股，更别说肛门腺了。

vet 一般会问你狗狗有没有scooting, 如果有的话他们会给狗狗挤挤看。

我没有给天天挤过。他1岁了就去过groomer那里一次，估计就那次挤过。

我觉得小狗一般问题不大的，只要不要吃得太油腻。天天也没有在地毯上面擦过屁股

狗都喜欢舔的。每天舔几次呢。不过天天从来够不着他的屁眼就是了，只能够舔小jj

桑妮也是够不着屁屁啊，一直就咬尾巴，也会舔小**.............没有见蹭过地毯。。。。最近还老咬自己的爪爪

我家小北也没挤过、嘿嘿。6个月了

我上次看一本书说是做grooming时要给挤的，不过我上个星期给Angel洗澡时就顺手给它挤了一次，确实有水水出来很臭但是不多，我觉得除非定期给狗狗做grooming否则还是要主人定期给狗狗挤的，很明显给Angel刚挤完她很爽的样子高兴得当时直舔我，没完没了的，象平时洗澡就跟打仗似的不跟我滋牙就是好事了。

另外小狗舔PP是因为她有尿了，zt跟我说她是因为怕尿流出来所以自己去舔的，确实每次一看Angel舔PP我们就给她拉出去或是去pad上，人家马上就尿了。

偶家桑妮每次尿完我给她擦完屁屁，就在那猛舔。。。。还咬自己尾巴。。。。咬么咬不到

你家桑尼好爱干净呀，咬尾巴是她自己玩呢吧。^:^

Anal Glands

FAQ.

What Are The Anal Glands?

The anal glands (more properly termed the anal sacs) are two sac-like structures located just under the skin near the anus. These sacs periodically fill with a thick, foul smelling secretion known as anal gland secretion (or anal sac secretion). Under normal circumstances a small amount of this secretion (discharge) is expelled from the gland each time the pet defecates (meaning to "go to the bathroom" or "produce stool")

 
What Is The Difference Between The "Anal Glands" And The "Anal Sacs?"

Technically speaking, "anal sacs" is the proper term for the structures which house the anal gland secretion while the "anal glands'' are the microscopic glandular structures, lining the inside of the anal sac, which produce the secretion itself. In common usage, however, the terms "anal sacs" and "anal glands" are used interchangeably. Since most of our clients are accustomed to referring to these structures as "anal glands" this is the term we often use in the veterinary clinic.

Are The Anal Glands A Normal Part Of My Dog's Anatomy?

Yes.

Does My Cat Have Anal Glands?

Yes.

Do People Have Anal Glands?

No.
 
What Is The Function Of The Anal Glands?

The anal glands have no known function in the modern world. They are "vestigial" organs like your appendix) meaning that they once had a function but as the dog and cat evolved, the anal glands lost that function. The best theory is that dogs once used the pungent smelling anal gland secretion to mark their territories in the wild. Wolves and other wild cousins of the dog are known to do this. Also, dogs will occasionally express (meaning to squeeze secretion out) their anal glands when they are frightened, so it is thought the secretion could be intended to have a defensive repellent function.
 
Can My Dog's Anal Glands Sometimes Become Diseased Or Have Other Problems?

Yes.

What Are Some Of The Diseases Or Problems That The Anal Glands Can Have?

The main problems the anal glands can have are (1) impaction; (2) infection and abcess; (3) rupture; and (4) tumors.
 

What Is "Impaction" Of The Anal Glands?

This is "plugging-up" or "stopping-up" of the anal glands, with normal secretion. Sometimes the outlet (called the duct) of the anal gland becomes stopped-up and the gland fails to empty properly. This usually leads to discomfort (from the accumulating pressure) and will sometimes lead to infection.
 

How Can I Tell If My Dog Has Impaction Of The Anal Glands?

Though the signs will vary from case to case, common signs are: (1) scooting on the rear end; (2) licking the region around the anal glands; (3) reluctance (sometimes) in defecating (often resembling true constipation); and (4) discomfort (sometimes) when the area is touched. Occasionally, a dog can have an impaction and not show us any of these signs. Also, these symptoms (scooting, licking the rear area, etc.) can be signs of other problems on occasion too (such as worms, skin infection, stool. adhered to the fur, etc.) so it's important that we examine the patient to determine exactly what the problem is.
 

How Is Impaction Of The Anal Glands Treated?

In uncomplicated cases, treatment usually consists of digitally (meaning to use the fingers) squeezing the glands to help them express.
 

Briefly, How Do You Express The Anal Glands?

There are two common methods which can be referred to as the "external" and "internal" methods. With the external method we express the anal glands by placing a paper towel (or something similar) against the glands (which can be felt with the fingers - they feel like "grapes" under the skin) and gently pressing on them to get them to express. With the other method of expressing the anal glands, called the "internal" method, we first put a latex exam glove on and lubricate the index finger with KY jelly. Then the index finger is gently inserted in the anus and we isolate the gland between the index finger and thumb. Then we gently squeeze the gland from both sides (inside and outside) to express the secretion. I personally prefer this method because (for me at least) I can express more of the secretion from the gland than with the external method.

Can My Groomer Express My Dog's Anal Glands?

Yes. Of course this is up to the individual groomer, but many dog groomers do provide this service.
 

Briefly, Describe Infection, Abcess, And Rupture Of The Anal Glands.

Infection of the anal glands is not uncommon especially with chronic impaction.When one or both of the glands become(s) infected they often will rupture to the outside and drain, similar to any other abcess. This can be quite painful when it occurs, but fortunately most patient's anal glands will heal in a short time (several days).
 

Briefly, How Do You Treat Abscess And Rupture Of The Anal Glands?

In uncomplicated cases we treat this by cleaning out (flushing) the ruptured anal gland with antiseptic solution and placing the patient on antibiotics when indicated. After the ruptured gland has healed over we express it periodically to try to insure that it's not becoming impacted again.
 
Do Some Dogs Have Chronic Problems With Their Anal Glands?

Yes.
 

What Can Be Done For The Patient Who Has Chronic Problems With The Anal Glands?

In chronic cases the treatment of choice is usually to remove the glands surgically in an operation called an anal sacculectomy. Since the anal glands are vestigial organs, the dog with chronic anal gland problems is better off without them.
 

What Factors Will Predispose One Patient To Have Problems With The Anal Glands More Than Other Patients?

The main factors which predispose patients to have problems are (1) small body size and (2) obesity. Dogs under 20 lbs. have a higher incidence of anal gland impaction and other anal gland problems than larger dogs. The smaller the dog is, the more chance of anal gland problems. Tea cup poodles, Chihuahuas, and Pomeranians have an unusually high incidence of impaction. As with all generalities, of course, we will see exceptions with many small dogs never having any anal gland problems and some large dogs occasionally having severe problems. Overweight dogs also occasionally have a mechanical problem with getting the glands to express well.
 

What Role Does Diet Play In The Health Of The Anal Glands?

This is controversial. There is some evidence indicating that a diet higher in fat will cause more anal gland secretion and thicker secretion and therefore more potential problems but this is not certain. Also, some have advocated a high fiber diet to increase the frequency and the bulk of the stools, thereby stimulating the glands to express more often. Here again, no studies as of yet have conclusively proven this to be of benefit, so dietary approaches are strictly on a "trial basis".
 

How Can I Lower The Chances Of My Dog Having Anal Gland Problems?

You should have your dog's anal glands expressed as often as needed. Some dogs never need the anal glands expressed while some need them expressed as frequently as every couple of weeks. On the average, dogs under 15 lbs need the anal glands expressed about every couple of months. It's a good idea to have your groomer express the anal glands along with routine grooming.
