A**l Gland Problems in Dogs 🐕⬅️

One of the most common signs that your dog's a**l glands aren't expressing properly is scooting their rear end across the floor. Licking or itching the a**l area, difficulty pooping or pus and blood near the re**um or in the stool are other signs of a**l gland problems. 🐕❗

3. Position/location of the glands

Scientists also observed that toxoplasmosis may cause mental illness based on the effect it has on rodents, who seem to lose their fear of the odor of cat urine and have been observed walking right into the mouths of waiting cats. 🐭
