What are anal glands❓
Anal glands are a pair of small sacs that sit just inside the anus. They contain a strong smelling liquid used to mark an animal’s territory.
You may smell a fishy smell around your pet sometimes, this can imply that the anal glands are full and they could be leaking or, they could have released them themselves naturally with firm, healthy stools.
Some animals are unable to express them naturally due to their diet having low fibre, chronic soft stools, being overweight, allergies and genetics of certain breeds.
Symptoms of needing their anal glands expressed are;
💩 being irritated, licking and chewing at their back end.
💩 scooting/dragging bottom across the ground
💩 strong fishy odour
💩 suddenly sitting down in discomfort

Sweetest girl Bonnie, came to see us for her spay recently, she was a bit nervous to go through the doors but when she got through, she was absolutely fine! She had lots of love and attention from our VCA Adele to make sure she felt safe with us 💜🐾
Bonnie’s owners have done great with her rest after surgery and she is healing well at home 🥰

Come spend the day with Gracie! 🧡 She came to see us yesterday for an ultrasound on her bladder.
She had a routine urine screen a few days before that showed some crystals in her urine. Whilst crystals aren’t always concerning, sometimes these crystals can clump together and form stones in the bladder that can become painful.
Signs of this could include increased urination, increased drinking, blood in the urine or straining to urinate.
Luckily Gracie’s ultrasound showed no signs of bladder stones developing and her owner will just need to monitor her for any further signs of urinary tract issues.
If you’re worried about your pet’s urinary health please give us a call on 01235 462350 and a member of the team will be able to help you ☎️
