Just tonight, within the past three-four hours, Jackson's kind of been licking at his butt.
It doesn't look red or irritated at all. He got groomed about a week ago so I don't think it'd be irritation from the buzzer or anything. I don't think this groomer automatically does anal glands, it's extra $$, so I am just wondering if maybe he needs them expressed. His stools have been firm.
I felt down there (gross, I know!) but I wouldn't even know what anal glands feel like. I do feel two sac-like things, but not sure if that's normal, or if that's the glands? Anyone know? Should I attempt to empty them myself at home, or is that a no-no? I just watched a few videos lol.
He is going to the veterinary dentist tomorrow for a free re-check of his teeth from his dental surgery two weeks ago. But they are a dentist, so I'll feel like an idiot asking about his glands, I am not sure they mess with that kind of stuff.
