Now there are more and more people keeping pets. However, when I send my dog to take a bath, I saw that the content of the bath inside included anal glands. Some of them could search on Baidu for popular science, but some didn't. I have never known what anal glands are, nor do I know why I need to squeeze the anal glands, nor do I know the benefits of squeezing the anal glands and the disadvantages of not squeezing the anal glands. An’s father will give a detailed explanation to beginners and friends who have never popularized science. What are the anal glands and what are their effects on dogs?
This is a gland, also known as the anal sac, which belongs to a dog. It is a gland that looks like a pair of pears. It is one on both sides of the dog's anus, and there is one on the upper and lower sides, and there is an opening.
When a dog is defecating, the opening of the anal glands is opened with the anal opening, which discharges the anal gland fluid to moisturize the anus, so that the dog can easily discharge the bowel movement. The liquid caused by the anal glands is also left with the bowel movement, and has the key effects of identifying the country and explaining the true identity. There is also the reason why the dog does not wipe its butt like a human after defecation.
People always see dogs when they meet for the first time, which means they smell the little butt, and the anal glands have a very good effect in their social activities. For people, dogs' anal glands are foul-smelling, but in fact, anal glands have their main uses. For dogs, this liquid transmits information on their gender, age and influence. When dogs suffer from frightened or anxious, their anus will be closed and their anal fluid will be discharged.
How does analdenitis come about?
The anal gland sac is filled with anal gland fluid. If it is not removed for a long time, it will turn into gray-black or light brown liquid or mud-like substances, and the smell is not heard. All normal items for dogs are light yellow or dark brown, and the concentration is water sampling, paste-like, and some are often found like milk, accompanied by a peculiar smell.
The regular physical muscles of obese dogs and cats will also cause the disease when the metabolism of the anal capsule content is blocked.
In addition, the cause of the disease is also related to dog feeding. If the dog often eats some greasy items, the probability of the disease is very high.
Typical symptoms of anal adenitis
Sick dogs and cats have inflammatory anus. They often sway their tails when they are defecating and quiet, rub and lick and try to bite the anus. They have difficulty defecating, and they refuse to stroke their butts. They can smell fishy smell when they are close to sick dogs and cats.
The most common condition that is easily observed by the owner: the anus is moving forward with the floor or rubbing the road back and forth, and continuously rubbing the buttocks.
When inflammation is severe, the anal sac is ulcerated and a lot of light yellow and dilute essential substances are discharged, and pus is stained in it. Anal exploration will occur, and fistulas will occur in the anus, which will cause severe pain.
Treatment methods for analdenitis
Lift up the small tails of dogs and cats to expose the anus, squeeze the anus with your thumb and ring finger to form the opening, or insert the ring finger into the inside and outside of the anus to form the compression molding, remove the contents of the anal capsule and apply erythromycin ointment to the periphery of the anal gland.
The excessive analdenitis of dogs is quite serious. Please send the dog to a reliable pet clinic for professional and technical personnel to carry out removal and treatment.
After analdenitis is cured, cat slaves must regularly maintain the dog's anal glands to prevent analdenitis from occurring again. I squeeze the dog around half a month, but I can squeeze it while taking a shower. When I help the dog squeeze the anal glands, I should pay attention to my head not being too close to the anus. It is also best to cover the dog's anus with a handkerchief or cotton wool when squeezed to prevent liquid from splashing on your body. Remember to get from light to heavy from the inside to the outside.
It is best to wear glue gloves once when helping the dog's anal glands, so the liquid will not flow into your hands easily. Cat slaves who are squeezed with bare hands should pay attention to cleaning it, otherwise they will keep smelling the poop!
