Butt juice..

[media310]

My little girl has some foul smelling juice coming out of her butt. I noticed a spot on the couch that was rancid. Any ideas? Do I need to have the vet "express her glands" She has been trying to lick it up, even worse.. There goes the kisses, yuck

[Cajun Casey]

Anal glands. You might try giving her high fibre treats or adding a dollop of cooked oatmeal to her food.

I express my dogs' anal glands monthly. No need to pay a vet. If they get infected , you have a problem.

BAHAHA

I remember when my dog was a year or so old she had this happen too, I was sitting there in the chair watching some movie then all the sudden my pup is yarping and sprinting across the room..wife and look at eachother like "whaaa??"

then the pup very cautiously starts heading back to the spot she was at under the table, looks at us then her nose back at us and heads to the table slowly creeping back.

Then I smell it ewwww

seems she'd been digging at her butt, then sprayed herself in the nose and scared herself silly

baaha we were both laughing, and gagging

Sounds to me like they might be infected. Normal glands don;t just leak for no reason, and they should not need to be expressed often if at all. See your vet and have her checked.

My vet said to do it monthly, before the butt dragging starts.

Had a problem with my Lab. when she was eating Canidae. Never had an issue before we started feeding Canidae, changed her over to Blue Buff. and never had another problem. Now feeding Premium Edge by Diamond and still no problems.

I remember the vet saying maybe at bath time, give a little squeeze to the outside edge of the anus. This helps release pressure, and usually over time goes away....unless it's so bad you need to take her to the vet.

I have no expertise or words of andvice on this, but with a title like "Butt juice" one can't help but stop and read to see what this was all about! Great title!

[Greg Jennings]

Anal glands need expressing. May be infected at this point.

[RoostersMom]

Stop by the vet's office and ask them to show you how to express the glands. My vet says it should not be necessary to express glands except for once in a great while. He is of the opinion that expressing them yourself each month will lead to problems with the dog. He also recommended a higher fiber diet. I just add raw carrots into the mix and haven't had problems since then.

[Dirtysteve]

Just make sure if you express them yourself your whistle isn't hanging off your neck down in front of the dogs butt. I learned this the hard way

ALRIGHT...ALRIGHT...ALRIGHT
I avoided clicking on this for the better part of 24 hours, trying to take the high road. As many of you know I am working dilligently on my maturity and my reputation. The title is nothing less than hideous and while the content has utilitarian purpose for the original poster, a fair number of the responses only served to magnify the gag reflex one might get reading the title. With this in mind, and for the first time since joining I would like to suggest to the site owners a new category entitled something to the effect of:

Questions and Comments That Should Not be Read During or Within One Hour of A Meal, Snack or Drink of Water
Don't Look! This Made 9 Out of 10 Turkey Vultures Shudder
This Content Not Meant For Site Members Who See the Dentist With any Regularity Such as Once a Decade
Tasteful Nudes of Forum Members Over 70

...something just anything that will keep people with reasonable sensibilities from clicking on a post

Too funny. ROFLMBO

[asc]

Gives a WHOLE new meaning to the term "Express Yourself"

[markj]

I must be neglecting my dogs, never felt the need to give their rear end a squeeze.....

[Ahumphers91a]

Gross, but works!

[proudag08]

Gross, but works!

I think he meant "Gross butt works" ehhhhhhhh.... ehhhhhhh.... :roll:

[Ahumphers91a]

I was gonna say pun intended..... LOL

I peed a little reading that story hahahahahahaha

[midwestfisherman]

This thread has great potential!

[Onk]

I think I just woke up my wife while laughing re-reading this stuff! You are some funny peeps!

[media310]

Leave it to a newspaper editor to come up with a catchy title.. Sometimes I forget to switch out of media mode

Update: I have been trail running with my little girl a lot lately and I think she is not taking enough time to boop! She is always running in front of me on the trail. When I catch up to her and she's pooping she will instantly start running again, even in mid poop.

She has a very unique squat, I will try and get a photo next time. She will put her feet together (all 4) and gets her "bleep" so low to the ground when pooping. It looks goofy as can be, I have no idea how she balances in the act.

I have read good and bad about the Anal gland expressing ( wtf I thought I was just adopting a cute puppy?) Now I have to make this stuff come out of her butt, insert (gag reflexes) now.. So I may just wait a while and see what happens.

Turns out this dog thing is a fulltime job.

[ezzy333]

The problem you describe is OFTEN caused or associated with soft stools or too little of a stool. The feeds that everyone shuns because the dog has too much stool will solve the problem in most cases. Fiber is included in the food and the guaranteed analysis because it is important for the dogs overall health. This is just one of the things we run into when we make the decision that how much poop we have to clean up is more important than what the dog needs.

[mcbosco]

No matter how large or small the stool is, if it is not sufficiently hard enough to be pressed on by the dog's butt muscles, the glands wont express normally. The longer this goes on the greater the chance this becomes chronic.

I have used raw and some commercial products with as litter as 1% fiber and never had a dog suffer this problem.

[SHORTFAT]

with a title like that... I just KNEW I wouldn't be dissapointed... had the problem with my lab too... don't let it get too bad. See a vet for the first time and learn how to do it yourself... great block of instruction, trust me... the dog will be thrilled... gotta go pick the rest of my chereeo's out of my nose, cuz I was reading the thread during my breakfast!.. "Don"t let yer whistle hang down"... too funny!

[mcclinj]

I made the whistle mistake this morning while cleaning up a pile. The morning training session ended quickly thereafter.
