MemberHi all,
I have two small dogs. An 8 1/2 year old male maltese/poodle and a 2 1/2 year old male yorkie/shih tzu.
My maltese mix has anal gland issues, so I take him to the vet each month to get them expressed. I always know when itās time because he scoots and licks his behind.
Now, onto my other little guy. Heās my rescue boy and I donāt regularly get his anals expressed. I learned hard lessons from my older boy about that. Anyway, yesterday evening I came home from work and he was not moving at all. I was terrified. He was lethargic, panting, and couldnāt jump on the sofa, etc. But, he ate his dinner, peed, and pooped, but didnāt want to play or anything. Heās very active and agile. I rushed him to the vet and they examined him thoroughly and said he was fine. She she also did a rectal exam and expressed his anals. They were full, but easily expressed. Lo and behold as soon as she did that he perked up. Was jumping around and playing like his normal self. This is the second time this happened. The last time was around Christmas 2013. He doesnāt scoot or anything so I didnāt realize he was uncomfortable.
I had him sleep in his crate last night and this morning he was a bouncy little guy and back to his happy little self.
Has anyone had a dog who is this sensitive? I want to avoid this type of emergency vet visit and getting myself all worked up.
I know every dog is different, but this is a reaction I have never heard or read about.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Memberwhat are you feeding your dogs? While some dogs do have gland issues, its not common place to have two in the same household with the same issueā¦

ParticipantHi BRT, I never knew about expressing dogs anal glands until I rescued Patch 20 months ago, when I first got him he was always scooting along the carpet, at first I thought worms so I wormed him again, then vet said anal glands need expressing, Patch would have his anal glands expressed every 2 months by the vet, then in March I started to give Patch Boiled Chicken breast with boiled pumkin for breakfast cause of his Pancreatitis, I give Tuna in spring water drained & pumkin now, but since starting him on the boiled pumkin back in March he stopped scooting along the carpet & I havent needed to take him to the vet to express his anal glands..you could always try some pumkin & see if it works..also 1 month ago I started feeding Patch āWellness Simpleā Duck & Oatmeal kibble & Patches poos are more firmer then when he eats his Vet prescription Eukanuba Intestinal..so maybe youāll need to change their dietā¦
