She said it stunk really bad! <br />In the end because they kept causing a problem the Vet said to remove them - hehe which is funny, becuase when other dogs go to sniff her bum they get very confused as they can't get all the information they need about her :p<br /><br />Anyway we are glad you are making a good recovery and hope you are back to your bouncy self soon!<br /><br />Licks and lots of slobber,<br />Lexi and Jasper the DanesLexi and Jasper the Great Daneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807902700625027944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630557388740471997.post-83872757323810825402010-12-05T10:23:58.397-06:002010-12-05T10:23:58.397-06:00OUCH!!

I hope you finish healing up soon and won't have any more issues.<br /><br />My big chi has been rubbing his bum on the ground lately. I need to really have his cleaned out so he doesn't have the same problem.sprinkleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081967372702276914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630557388740471997.post-21750140925279532692010-12-02T16:20:09.604-06:002010-12-02T16:20:09.604-06:00Oh Sammy!! You poor, poor thing! That sounds awful...Oh Sammy!! You poor, poor thing! That sounds awful! I can really empathise because I used to have anal gland problems too! Yes! I was stinky all the time (and you know, my anal glands are BIG) - so in the end, the vet actually said it was best for me to just have them removed completely! Yup! So I had a big operation and they took them out and now I don't have any anal glands anymore! My humans were a bit worried that it might affect the way other doggies react to me (maybe they couldn't smell anything when they tried to sniff my bum?) but it doesn't seem to have affected my social life - hee! hee! <br /><br />Anyway, so I am much happier now I don't have to worry about my anal glands anymore! The vet said the only slight risk was that when I got really old, I MIGHT have incontinence problems with poo coz the operation might have made my muscles weaker...but so far so good! :-)<br /><br />Am glad you're out of the hospital now and hope you feel all better soon!<br /><br />Slobbers,<br />Honey the Great DaneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116997529248428606noreply@blogger.com
