Is it okay for dogs not to squeeze their anal glands?
Dogs can’t not squeeze their anal glands. The anal glands need to be cleaned frequently. If they are not cleaned for a long time, the anal gland fluid will change color and smell bad smell, causing blockage and affecting defecation, and even severe anal gland swelling and pain, making it impossible to defecate. If the anal glands are not squeezed for a long time, the anal gland fluid will become corrupt and deteriorate, which will stimulate the inner wall of the anus to become inflamed and produce abscesses. Dogs can become extremely distressed, leading to constipation and anorexia in severe cases.
