posted on the general site I need some help for Spike

having terrible anal gland issues, I think we are headed for surgery to remove them. They are always infected, but I have never seen him having pain, tonight he is dragging his bum, and running and sitting, running and siting. Gave him a bath to help sooth it, no help. Of course he couldn't do this todya, when my vets were there. I tired to express the glands, and he cried, what do I do until Monday? I don't want to take him to the er. 9unless I have to)

Yes, they were swollen and itchy

But not infected. The prep h soothed her and helped with the swelling and irritation.

careful....

with a heating pad....as sometimes they may get to hot....in a sensitive area.

But warm compresses are even better d/t moist heat.

Try...

warm compresses to the area three - four times day for 15 minutes. Hopefully that will help relieve some of his discomfort....poor thing.
