Rusty needs help. Please read!

My four year old pug/chia mix is licking excessively where his testes used to be (done two years ago) and also his bottom. I have been applying a warm cloth and Neosporin to the area after bowel movments but that is not helping the behavior. Does anyone have experience with this with your dog and what did you find that worked? Thank you  for responders. This dog is like my child to me.

Agree that it is probably the anal glands and they can abscess.

He needs his Anal Sacs/Glands expressed......Your Vet or groomer can do it....Left untreated, if they are full & cannot empty on their own, they will rupture.....Infection sets in quickly in this area, so your Vet will examine the fluid (After expression) to see if any infection is present.....If so, antibiotics are needed but normally not! This is very common in small dogs......

It's a simple procedure and only takes a minute.....My groomer charges $5 to have them done, my Vet charges $12......

Good luck & let us know how he's doing.....Karla
