new rep on this today; re-read found some missing text in the start; did additional enhancers.

| Oct 24, 2013 at 18:04 | comment | added | Kate Paulk | There's only one thing I'd add - if someone doesn't do this there's a chance of the gland(s) bursting, which is insanely stinky, horribly painful, and runs the risk of other complications. Your dog/cat having a massive stinky bloody crater on their butt is worse than dealing with blockages (had this happen a to cat who was 16+ years old at the time. She recovered. I'm not sure I did!) | |

| Oct 12, 2013 at 14:39 | comment | added | Taryn | @JoshDM I didn't include in the OP but we actually did remove the glands on the Pug. She needed them expressed every few days. We have been extremely lucky she did not have issues after the removing them, however she still does sometimes scoot. I don't know if it in their nature with itchy butts but she doesn't have anything to express. I posted this question because while we have issues with our dogs, I know this is a common issue for many dog owners. And your answer is great help on how to solve it at home in the most disgusting way possible!! :) | |
| Oct 12, 2013 at 14:37 | comment | added | Taryn | @JoshDM We are very thankful that our dogs are not overweight. Pug is 18 Lbs, Shih is 11 lbs and the Chorkie is a whole 4 lbs. The Shih will slam her butt when I know it is time to express her glands, the scoot bar have seemed to help a lot. The Chorkie does scoot and we are trying to figure the right combo of food/fiber to possibly help her. | |

| Oct 12, 2013 at 14:18 | comment | added | JoshDM | I've asked my vet about that sort of thing because one of my dogs was a bit thicker than the others and he would always get full glands. Removal was the option floated to me, but as I commented on @JamesJenkins' answer, the vet also told me that led to a potential inability to retain poop. My personal theory? If I slimmed him down a bit more, maybe his glands wouldn't have been so full. Are your dogs overweight or could they be slimmed? | |
| Oct 12, 2013 at 14:08 | comment | added | Taryn | This is a great answer and I have done this before. However, we have been unlucky and at least some of our dogs need the glands expressed more than we would EVER want to do ourselves. I am wondering if there are any dietary changes that we can make to prevent the glands from getting full in the first place, or that would make their poop firm enough the glands would express during the act of pooping. | |
