kleintjie Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I posted in the Health section and then thought maybe this is a puppy problem. Hope it's ok to post here too! :D I got a CKCS puppy 2 days ago. Since I got her she's been scooting on her bottom. I took her to the vet who checked her. Anal glands find, no prolapse. It looks like a small part of her anus is poking out (like 1mm). The vet gave an cream to apply, to settle the inflammation. I have been applying the cream and I stop her scooting if I see her do it. I'm still a little bit worried. Anybody with a similar experience? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was he able to assess that her anal glands were fine if he didn't express them? My boy Cavalier scooted when I first brought him home and he was at the vets the next day for a general health check. His anal glands were emptied by the vet and they needed doing again 4 weeks later. Since then there have been no problems. He does get plenty of fibre in his food. My little girl Cav scoots sometimes but is able to empty the glands herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleintjie Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'm not really sure. The vet examined her anal glands and said they are fine. So I'm not really sure. Should I go back to the vet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rascal Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 See what the breeder wormed them with, if it was troy puppy use drontal and visa versa, they don't cover the same worms.. best of luck.. (also try some paw paw to soothe the bum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
