Have you noticed that your Bichon is a little smelly near its backend? It may smell like he’s passing gas with a fishy odor to it. If so, the smell may not be from your pup’s poo as you would think. The smell could be coming from the dog’s anal glands. Anal glands are meant to provide a strong and potent scent for marking territory. They also help eliminate toxins and other substances that aren’t needed. Small dogs like the Bichon Frise is prone to suffer from anal gland inflammation, anal gland dysfunction, and even abscesses and tumors of the anal gland. Things that can cause these illnesses include the dog’s diet, general body toxins, obesity due to carb-based diets, liver imbalance, or even spine or muscle energy. Call your vet to set up a routine exam. In most cases, cleaning and empty the anal glands will solve the problem. Learn more from your vet Spring Hill, TN.
