This is a little gross but I'm at a loss.....
For the past 2 weeks or so my Beagle's anal glands have been draining at random times and I cant get rid of the smell.
I had them drained at a groomer about a week ago and she said his anal glands are not infected and he wasn't impacted. She said this can be done about once a month and I don't want to do it myself. yuck
After his glands drain I take him in the bathroom and wash him and then spray Apple Cider Vinegar around his bum area to get rid of the smell (groomers tip). This only works for about an hour, then I have to wash him again!
We have 2 other Beagles and they run a play most of the day in addition to a few long walks so he gets enough exercise. His poos are also firm, I thought that was supposed to drain them...?
I'm really at a loss, he is an indoor family member so I wont even consider leaving him outside so don't bother posting that idea.
Is their anything I should feed him to help this problem?
Is their a good/sanitary shampoo you can recommend?The groomer said there's really nothing our Vet can do because his anal glands weren't infected.... is that true?
Thanks in advance.
