Thanks for the link Pat - I've joined the group, - looks interesting!
On the subject of these anal glands - Humphrey, very occasionally, will scoot but then only for a couple of seconds and then he doesn't do it again and there have been no other symptoms. A fortnight ago I picked him up from the groomer and she said she'd squeazed and cleared them as they were apparantly swollen and sore, although apart from one single scoot a couple of days previously, he'd showed no other signs to cause concern. May sound a silly question, but at what point do you decide to visit a vet? Does the scooting help them clear the glands or do they do it because its painful? I'm not sure if the groomer should have taken it upon herself to clear them or if it would have been better left alone? He's raw fed and poohs are ok. Should I be worried?
Hope Jinley's feeling better today!
