Anal Gland Problem? 肛門腺有問題?

Almost everyone I know squeezes or have someone squeezes their dog's anal gland.  But have you thought about why do you need to squeeze it or what it is for?  What would animal in the wild?  

幾乎我識每個人都擠壓或找人擠壓佢地肛門腺你有沒有想過為什麼你需要去擠或者它是有什麼用野生動物又怎去處理肛門腺?


What is Anal Gland?

Dogs has a small pocket on either (4 o'clock and 8 o'clock) side its anus; they are pair of small scent glands.  

These glands contain strong smell and are used to mark territory (along with urine) or to express in extreme fear.  These pockets are designed to empty naturally during defecation (when stool is normal).  

When your dog has firm stool, the anal gland would be express along with the stool. 
什麼是肛門腺?

狗的肛門側兩面有一個小口袋裡 (4點鐘和 8點鐘的位), 他是一對肛門腺


這些腺體含有強烈的氣味是用來標記領土,或在極度恐懼中發出. 這些口袋設計是在自然排便時清出 (當大便時是正常時). 

當你的狗有正常糞便肛門腺會一起跟糞便排出.

When do we have problems?
  • When your dog has non-normal poo (soft stool), the anal gland is not able to be expressed during deification.
  • When anal gland is squeezed/ expressed without reason, impaction and inflammation increases. 
幾時會有問題?
  • 當你的狗有非正常的大便(軟便), 肛門腺是不能夠在排便過程中排出.
  • 沒有理由地擠壓肛門腺, 排不出和炎症會加劇.
So what to do to prevent anal gland problem?

Nothing. Just make sure your dogs have good diet and good poo along with regular exercise, then your dog's anal gland would be healthy.

那麼該怎麼做以防止肛門腺問題嗎?

什麼也不要做. 只要確保你的狗有良好的飲食 和良好的大便及有規律運動, 你的狗的肛門腺 就會健康.
