Does anyone have issues with their dog's anal glands? On two separate occasions, Lucca has release some fluid (oil) from her anal glands. This is really bad smelling...and hard to was out!
The first time it happened was just a few days after a grooming. The groomer said her anal glands were very full and that they could have released a little more by themselves. Now, the second time around it happened about a month after a grooming. So, I took her into the vet and they said her glands were once again very full and that I should bring her in once a month to get them checked and drained is necessary.
The vet said this generally would not happen unless the dog gets overly sacared..which was not the case on either occasion.
Just wondering if anyone else has experience this issue. Everyone says poodles are know to have anal gland problems. The only problem we are having is that the fluid is coming out. I have never seen her scooting her rear end on the carpet or anything like that. Lucca is now 11 months old. She weighs 45 lbs.
