Aren Dickman Webboard User Reg: 01-05-2002 Posts: 72 Loc: Offline	Anal gland cleaning is no fun, but neither is a trip to the vet.. so I decided to learn how and do it myself. Shall I ever forget to clean the anal glands after I groom my Lhasa, I&#039;m reminded when I find a poopy stain streak across my carpeting. It&#039;s a nasty job ,but someone has to do it for the old man. I think I should make my husband do it, since he&#039;s the one that talked me into bringing the dog home in the first place (yea right!) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

There are exceptions om both sides, but that is a good starting place. The stuff that comes out is a dark fluid of varying thickness. If done regularly it is fairly runny. Impacted glands create some big problems for a dog. If you can't be a Good Example,then You'll just have to Serve as a Horrible Warning. Catherine Aird.
