Dogs do many tricks. But, you may find them doing something at times that is somewhat embarrassing — scooting their bottom onto the floor.
Do not laugh or feel mad toward your dogs. This may have something to do with their anal sacs. This body part is small yet it plays a major role in a dog’s bowel movement. Dogs generally have two sacs that excrete a foul odor when they poop.
This is normal. But, some cases indicate that the sacs are not properly functioning. How can you tell that there is an issue with the sacs? The fluid may harden, thereby blocking the sacs and causing them to inflame.
Dogs may experience pain or discomfort when they have inflamed anal sacs. Scooting their bottom onto the floor may be an instant relief for such pain. You can extract the fluid from your dogs’ sacs if they are already enlarged. But, you may also opt for the assistance of a professional such as a groomer or your veterinarian Cornelius, NC.
