I have a 20 month old female OES that has started leaking from her anal glands. It just started recently, within the last 6 months. It seems to happen when she's relaxed and laying down. Our vet examined her and didn't find anything abnormal. She showed me how to express her anal glands internally (YUCK!!), which I have been doing about once a month, per vet's instructions. Her stools are firm and normal. I've talked with her breeder, who had heard of this happening with senior dogs, but never a young dog. She thought maybe something could have happened while getting her tail docked as a puppy. Does anyone have any experience with something like this? I don't know if we need to take her to a specialist? I may start putting diapers on her, but don't like the idea of leaving them on her all the time. |
