This absolutely gorgeous boy is Ted. I met him yesterday to trim his nails. He's an old boy with arthritis so keeping his nails short really helps reduce any pain and discomfort. 😍 💙

"A**l glands", also called a**l sacs, are small glands located on either side of a cat or dog's a**s. These glands produce a smelly liquid used for marking territory or identifying other animals. In the wild, animals use these scents to communicate with each other, but domesticated pets may not need this function as much, though the glands still produce the fluid.

Usually, these glands empty naturally when the pet poops, as the pressure of the stool helps squeeze out the fluid. However, sometimes they don't empty fully or get blocked, which can cause discomfort or problems.

Signs the glands need emptying:

Scooting:
Dragging their bottom along the ground to try to relieve discomfort.

Licking or biting at their rear end:
They might focus on that area more than usual.

Odour:
A strong, unpleasant smell, especially around their bottom.

Excessive tail chasing:
Sometimes this indicates irritation in the area.

Discomfort:
If your pet seems more fidgety or has trouble sitting.

If you notice any of these signs, a vet or groomer can safely empty the glands. It's important not to try this yourself unless you're trained, as improper handling can cause injury or infection.
