That dog went home to mom and dad, laid on the kisses and said guess what I did today lol

I know she’s mine, but I never wanted to get this up close and personal with my dog. It worked

Well they charge $37 now for internal expressions now at vet clinics. It was $20-25 a few months ago. Pet owners have no choice but to do it themselves .

Is there a reason this needs to be done, because I recently got my first puppy and I’m surprised to see this?

[TeamFish]

I just did my dog’s internally. She’d been scooting for a couple of days. One side felt larger and a decent amount of brown stuff came out. The other side wasn’t as big and the liquid didn’t look as dark. Hopefully she got some relief, poor baby.

What color should it be? I hear conflicting answers. I expressed my dog's glands a few days ago, the fluid was like a cloudy grey. He hasn't licked himself since then.

"I usually wear gloves" - usually? 😂

[lapchurng]

How often do u think this needs to be done

[someguycalledsteven]

I tried this with my dog because he was scooting his behind but nothing came out. That’s a good sign right? Or was I not applying enough pressure. Didn’t want to hurt him.

so my dog got bloated randomly so i examined my self try to massage in all the places so she can feel better since o thought it was gases yes when i lifted up her tail that smelly liquid came out of behind but why is that ?

[LoveyourzAF]

[mathewdevera]

[williammccartney]

Um gonna leave that to the professionals!

[youknoweverything]

Nastiest thing ever but i do it at home all the time and my vet showed me how to do jt internally

[nzaukiwi]

I tried doing it but maybe the wrong way or not hard enough? Nothing came out

[apbeauregard]

I've had vets show me and wlak me through how to do it internal before in their office so it isn't something only vets can do.

[billybeveridge]
