These glands are on either side of the dog’s anus and sometimes can become blocked, particularly in the smaller breeds of dog. Often, the first sign of blocked anal glands in dogs is the dog dragging its bottom on the ground or continually licking the area. It is essential that the diet contains enough roughage but also that the motions are not too soft so that the glands are cleared by the normal pressure of faecal evacuation.
Give the daily treatment dosage of Garlic & Fenugreek tablets, at a rate of 2 tablets per 5kgs bodyweight daily, to relieve any minor infection that may have occurred and bathe the area with purifying Garlic Juice liquid to soothe and cleanse. If the problem persists or worsens consult your veterinary surgeon so that he can clear the glands manually, as in extreme cases an abscess may result.
