Anal Gland Disease

What is that?

Your bulldog’s anal glands are embedded in the anus muscles at 5 and 7 o'clock, thus not readily visible. Each one of the pairs has its own glandular sac and attached ducts that normally empty into the rectum during defecation.

Symptoms

The anal gland's most common problem is impaction, which causes itching, scooting, and pasty, pungent, oily discharge. Anal gland-infected abscesses present as a large, red, swollen gland that often ruptures and leaks bloody discharge.

Facial red raised bumpy inflamed lesions and blackheads. Untreated bulldog acne can progress to bleeding scabby oozy painful wounds with draining tracks, and pustules that can lead to a chronic disfigured scar-like dermis.
