Two Dachshunds, Two Anal Gland Problems

Two Dachshunds, Two Anal Gland Problems

By Sep 14, 2007

For the second time within a month, one of our Dachshunds had an infected anal glad. This time, Chloe’s abscessed and nearly ruptured.

Unlike Odie, it was a complete surprise since she was acting normal until late Sunday night where she started hiding behind the downstairs toilet.

I knew exactly what it was from Odie’s recent problem, so all I could do is hope that it wouldn’t burst until the morning when I could get her to the Vet.

She had to stay the day at the Vet Monday to let Dr. Thomas drain the abscess and recover from the anesthesia.

Chloe happy to come home, was not too happy about the hood she has to wear for a few days until her butt sore heals. The antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory really seems to be doing the job!

I asked Dr. Thomas if there was a relationship between Odie and Chloe anal gland infections and he said no. This is good since I sure don’t want Molly to go thru the same experience.
