Have you ever noticed your pet excessively licking their back end or scooting across the floor? This could be a sign your pet needs their a**l glands expressed, or a sign of something more serious — like an a**l sac tumor.

A**l sacs are small glands that express an odorous liquid during bowel movements, but they can become obstructed, infected or lead to tumors. If you notice large swelling around the re**um, difficulty defecating or smaller, thinner, ribbon-like stools, it's time to consult with your veterinarian.
