Molo got the fright of his life today when a terrier decided that he was no longer 'young enough' to use his puppy license, so he got a sounds telling off (no teeth, just lots of noise) for being too boistrous!
Immediately afterward, Molo squatted and passed a transparent, foul smelling, brown liquid and I am trying to decide whether this was him emptying his anal glands through fear, or whether he has a dodgy tummy and should be on water for 24 hours? He has not poo'd since, so I can't tell
I've assisted with glands emptying before, and seem to remember it was thick, tar like smelly gloop; what Molo passed definitely wasn't the same as that.
I ask cos his stools have been a bit soft for a day or two, but I had put that down to a new type of chew; but am now not sure if his condition has escalated, and I should withdraw food, or not. I know how quickly young dogs can dehydrate and lose weight, so want to make sure I don't inadvertantly make things worse one way or the other!
Can anyone help, please!
