| Anal Glands
My 5 year old (yesterday was his B-day) male 3 weeks ago had trouble with an infected anal gland. We had the gland expressed and put him on an antibiotic (cephalexin 500mg twice a day) for 2 wks. Yesterday I noticed he is showing the same symptoms. I have a vet appointment for after work today. Has anyone else had problems with recurrent gland blockage? Is this common with rotties? I know some breeds of dogs are more likely to have this happen. Anyone know any way to help avoid this problem in the future? Believe me, my puppy is not too happy to have the vet express this gland. Jeez...what a birthday present! |
