If your dog is scooting, licking the rear, or seems uncomfortable when sitting, their anal glands may be full, impacted, or infected. At Allan Veterinary Clinic in Brockton, MA, we provide gentle, affordable care, from routine expressions to treatment of anal gland infections, for both dogs and cats.
Scooting or excessive licking can indicate full/impacted glands or an anal gland infection that needs treatment.
Glands that don’t empty naturally can become painful or infected, affecting behavior and well-being.
Cats can also develop anal gland issues and benefit from prompt evaluation.
We can perform a routine anal gland expression during a regular exam.
If you suspect an infection (swelling, discharge, strong odor, bleeding, or marked pain), please call before booking so we can schedule appropriate care.
Relieve discomfort fast with compassionate anal gland care at Allan Veterinary Clinic.
