The purpose of squeezing anal gland is to squeeze out anal residue and avoid stench. In fact, it is very important to squeeze and clean the anal glands of dogs regularly, not just to get rid of the dog's body odor. If you don't squeeze the anal gland of the dog often, it will also cause anal gland inflammation. But many owners dare not and don't know how to squeeze, so they have to leave this task to pet beauticians. Do this every time before the dog takes a bath: pay attention to the head and don't get too close to the anal gland. First, turn the dog's tail up and let the anus protrude. Second, put your finger on the dog's anus and squeeze at 4: 8. Some dogs spit out strange yellow-brown smelly things, and some dogs only have a little thing, which stinks to death! Dogs that often eat meat need to be squeezed! Be sure to pay attention to techniques: from the inside out, from light to heavy. Remember, when squeezing, it is best to cover the anus with paper towels or cotton to avoid the smelly water splashing on your body. If the gland has been blocked for a period of time, the secretion will be squeezed out like toothpaste, rather than sprayed out, and usually it will flow out with a gentle squeeze. If the anal glands of dogs are not easy to squeeze, then another method is needed. Put your index finger and thumb behind the gland and gently squeeze upward and outward. Normal secretions are yellowish brown, with concentrations ranging from watery to mushy, accompanied by stench. If there is purulent blood in the secretion, it means that it has been infected and you should see a doctor as soon as possible. If you can feel the sediment, but you can't squeeze it out, it means that the anal gland has been blocked and must be treated as soon as possible. Otherwise it will swell. In this case, the dog will lick the anus and lick the ground. If it is serious, it will hurt. Because of the pain, the dog will keep sprinting or chasing the tail or licking or biting the root of the tail, and finally produce an abscess. At this time, the dog showed listlessness, refused to eat or was constipated. Check the fluid sac in the anus regularly, and how often to clean it depends on the accumulation frequency in each dog, some once a month, some will not accumulate for two or three months, and some don't need cleaning at all. Small dogs are more likely to jam than big dogs, probably because they eat softer and more food than big dogs, thus producing harder substances. At least once a month. It's not always like this. Let's see if your method is correct. Hold the anal gland at four o'clock and eight o'clock with the thumb and forefinger of your right hand, press inward and then outward, and then pull outward. Like squeezing toothpaste, you will feel the discharge of anal gland fluid. If you press it several times, you will not be able to press anything. However, it should be noted that improper exertion will cause anal gland inflammation, so try to take it slowly.
