Love your videos. Would love to play some of them in our waiting room. Sometimes they go just a little bit too far to be able to share them with our clients (in this one, "I didn't know it was that kind of show" might not go over so well). But when they're PG, we love highlighting your show.
Love the humor along with the education!
this is the best video about this topic, thank you, you are a great at explaining
Thanks for the info. Very helpful!
My dog had his glands removed 4 days ago. We tried everything but he was having gland problems every 3 to 5 days.
It’s a very delicate and painful surgery. If someone can’t stay with your dog the firsts days after the procedure don’t do it until someone can. Trust me.
I like this guy! I have watched many videos and this was one of my favorites!! Maybe some diagrams would have been very helpful!! Just when describing where and what they should and should not look like...? That would be awesome!
Thanks a lot though!
Jai and Baba!!
This guy is funny! Thanks for the info and the laugh.
Your video gave me the confidence i needed to final try this at home. Our little mini dachshund felt better immediately! Thank you!
Just discovered your channel. Very cool!
Loved this. Good info! Wish you could be our vet!
funny vet, i like this guy!!! thanks for the info
Thanks doc for making such nasty but necessary subject so hilarious 😂 great job! Our little pup, seems to only do a little scoot seldomly after her first poop 💩 in the morning, is something to be concerned with? Again great video! 👍🏼
Great video and an awesome Dr.

@Cone of Shame Hi, thanks for the info! I have a question - I just tried expressing my dogs glands for the first time. He's been scooting for a few weeks but it started right after a vet had happened to shave his behind so I initially thought he was itchy from the hair growing back. I noticed that in video demonstrations the substance usually came out as a liquid, sometimes squirting. When I expressed my baby's bottom, if was more of a thin toothpaste consistency. Is this normal, or does it mean his glands infected? Thanks for any advice you can give!
This is great! Nice and easy for clients to follow with a little humor thrown in!
personally...if I never had to express anal glands again, Id love my job 50% more!
Thanks Amber! Your comment means a lot. I hope this will help owners understand what's going on and how they can help their pets.
This was exactly what I wanted to know, and it was funny. You know what that means? This is premium UA-cam content.
Funny and informative
Yes, a familiar problem with one of our Beagles. Thanks for the information. It was helpful without being gross. And let's face it, it is a gross problem.

My beagle is doing this a lot. I just introduced pumpkin. Hoping that will work
this guy is cool
Wanted to share my experience for those looking for advice/information. I have a 9 lb chuhuahu/ schnauzer mix & we have anal sac problems. I'm 38 & have never heard of this. The first time I noticed swelling by her butt hole & honestly thought it was a spider bite. It got red, big, and ruptured. I took her to the vet & they had to saline rinse both sides & she got antibiotics. Remember if your dog licks an abscess & licks you they are spreading bacteria. So... 1 month later her other side got clogged but I caught it before it reuptured. She got a saline flush again. A year later both sides clogged. The emergency vet only expressed & then I had to take her to the vet. $$$ The stuff that came out was as thick as poo & it should be as thin as syrup. My vet & I have discussed removal but an adverse side effect can & is often bowl control & your dog won't be able to hold it anymore. My next step is to do regular expression but I haven't figured out how & haven't decided if I want to pay a groomer or vet. I have also tried pumpkin & yogurt but really didn't notice a difference. My dog also does not get table scraps, just dog food. There's no cause.
Genetics my friend. I have two dachshunds and they are brothers from the same litter. As a matter of fact they were a litter of 2. One has butt problems the other does not. They eat the same food and share the same space so i assume it is caused by genetics
my vet said to put a teaspoon of pumpkin in my babies food when she eats & it will help her drain them naturally.
Yr dog must be super tiny
informative and funny :-)
My Pappillion had an abscess that was not detectable but burst through the skin. I watched the videos and allowed my dog to also watch the videos. I expressed the gland and washed the area thoroughly with Dawn then applied Neosporin. I noted that the swelling, on the left side, where the impaction had burst through the skin, was significantly less. I will express the right gland tomorrow......One was enough and a bit overwhelming. My question is what happens now? I can not go to a Vet. So now what? Also it bled out some. I used an Absorbent pad to contain any leakage. He seemed to understand that I was doing my best to relieve him of his discomfort. He immediately went to sleep afterwards. What should I do or expect now. Please advise me.
My new puppy has been to the vet twice and needs to go again... every 2-3 weeks. Her stool is firm. My vet just said bring her in whenever she needs it. There has to be a better way. She said no surgery for at least a year as she might grow out of it. I am not a diy'er either.😳
We had to have our male Aussie's glands expressed approximately every 6 weeks or so, and you could tell when it was needed because they SMELL badly enough that it seemed like HE stunk. But once we completely cut out ANY AND ALL table scraps, which we were already CAREFUL about, he never had to have it done again! No other dog we have had has ever had anal gland issues.
how about adenomas on an unneutred male? mine is ten, I want to prevent surgery, is there a compress or anything to decrease testosterone?
#smalldogproblems - hilarious. I have a Chiweenie and stumbled upon your video doing some research.
This guy looks like Leo Messi 😅
You're right!😳 (Messi with a normal income!)
My bull terrier had the problem. She died on 6/6/2015 after being hit by a vehicle when she was following me while I was driving my golf cart around the neighborhood.
plz put closed caption on these videos so us deaf folks can see!!!!
Hi Charlie, Thanks for pointing this out! I think most vids on this channel have them, and I'm sorry this one doesn't. Going forward I'll do my best to get them on there.
Well it was funny, next 1 i looked at had it! & I'm going to try it! Thank you so much! I've found lots i didn't know, & your page made a really big difference! Thank you! Have a beautiful day!
I believe that pain is equally as difficult for Humans
🤣💀 man I wish my vet was this funny
How do allergies affect these glands?
I’m a hairdresser and I’ve heard many stories of men having sex with there dogs. This is jail time to me. One story, how a dog was used for group sex with a group of men.😭 This goes on and witches using dogs for sacrifices too. The very dark truth. “GOD BLESS THOSE DOGS.”
I would ask my vet! If he wasnt so damn expensive! $300 bucks just for the visit, minus the medications that they give. And because he's so damn expensive, we only see the vet once a year for my Dogs vaccines.
Wow - that’s crazy! Here in Scotland a visit costs £35, with anything extra on top of course, but $300? Insane. They’re really ‘taking the piss’ as we say in the uk.
Dr i am from syria and i didn’t understand all your words but i can understand if you write a comment for my that you explain how can i help my dog cause his galand need empyting and the vets here are stupid please help me i want to do it at home
My mom has a terrible Oder for his glands but he doesn’t scoot! Smh I express them 2 times a month but it’s toooo much any tips??
Thank goodness my little dog has never had any issues with hers. Heck I've never even seen her scoot! At 10 years old I hope those sacs remain in good shape!
What type of dog food do you recommend for this problem? I have a 6 year old Beagle Female. She usually leaks every once in a while.
Hi! Does it leak throughout the home?
Yes it can do if they are really full and your doggy is 'scooting' everywhere, they can leak and leave a fish like smell
Oh dear! Idk who to feel worse for....myself or my yorkie....BUTT...yes pun intended it must be done that out of the blue smell is HORRENDOUS! 🤢GAG
What a bummer subject!
I expressed my dogs anal glands for the first time a couple of weeks ago because she was smelling horrible, and she's a service dog so thats not ok or allowed, you can actually be denied public access because of it. Anyway when I expressed them they squirted all over me and I wasn't pressing hard or anything it was basically as soon as I touched the area with any pressure. They smell went away for a little while but now it's back, anyone have any suggestions on how to help keep it under control because id rather her be able to express them naturally.
Very surprised at your 'stay away as much as you can from expressing anal glands attitude'. Small breeds, especially, can become impacted and infected. Our Vet feels it should be done monthly and taught us (after one of our small dogs became infected because of our not knowing). Vet said we could bring in for free expressing every month since it can be a painful and dangerous situation in dogs that have problems and need a bit of help. Small dogs seem more prone and every groomer that I'm aware of includes it with a groom.
I have kept dogs for over 50 yrs. Never had to "Express" Anal glands.
The trick is to add fibre to the diet. Steamed ir boiled Pumpkins, Cabbage, carrots, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Coconut meat help.
Soft poop is the biggest culprit
We have had to have all of our dogs’ anal sacs removed. It was not fun. Yet we tried everything we could with the help of our vet.
My yorkie is always getting this. What can I feed him to maybe eliminate this
Squash!
Thanks for letting us know that keeping our dogs poop firmer will take care of anal glands naturally expressing them selves. Increasing fiber in pet food.
I hope my FBI agent isn't eating right now
makes me wonder if thats why dogs smell each other's 6's so much.
My 7 yr old standard poodle has been paying extreme attention to her derrière …she developed a hotspot from licking … coned her up to stop the licking licking and treated the hot spot … noticed she had a slight but skunky discharge and the first thing I thought was the anal gland… I have had dogs my whole life … 45 yrs of personal ownership and have never had to express the anal glands ever … well today when i looked at her butt she had one puffed up side so I did the squeeze her derrière (around her anus) and yucky muck came out ,,, washed her up and she is fine… no more cone and interest in her butt .. after the fact looked at this video and others on you-tube … subscribed to this vet’s channel …will be increasing fibre content and hope I do not have to repeat the procedure ever but not adverse to doing so…if it means preserving her butt health and my sanity
Can the dog still go the restroom.
My dog crys even after his glands are expressed and I don’t know what to do!! Can anyone help me?
Do you see any signs of an anal sac infection? Is the skin irritated? Is it constant pain or just after having his anal sacs expressed?
julie pesavento has
Expressing anal glands is part of my job. I'm a dog bather. If nothing comes out when I squeeze their butt externally, then the doggy has to go to the vet to take care of it internally.
Frag Grrl I need to make sure my groomer does this every time from now on
Hahaha!
My poor cat had an abscessed anal gland. Poor thing - it was terrible.
Katherine Mauch what did you do?
Good at expressing himself??? 🤣🤣
BEST PLAY ON WORDS EVER, SIR!
One of my dogs just had an abscessed anal gland.
I'm sorry to hear that. I know it's painful. I hope your buddy is feeling okay now.
She's doing better, thanks. She took antibiotics and carprofen and had warm compresses 2x daily. I just hope it doesn't come back! I'm giving her lots of fiber. ( btw, did you happen to see "Secret Life of Pets? One of the cartoon dogs was scooting!)
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That’s it?
I am a Vet, so I should be seriouse, but expressing, hu, hu, hu, sory
Some people are worried about their dog and trying to deal with it not trying to be a dick but he humor isn't needed at this time so please leave it out
Ick 🤢
Very informative but it could've saved me half the time it took out my life if he'd just given the info & left out all the silliness. I didn't click on for that,
dsjm123 sounds like a personal problem
