Cocoa our 14 month old GSP came into the livingroom where i was laying on the floor goofing around with the other two dogs and promptly showed me how silly she looks dragging he butt across the carpet. A quick visual inspection didnt show anything out of the ordinary. Well I guess it was time to put all that video training to use. I expressed her anal glands,but it didn't go as I expected. I thought it would just oooze out, This stuff came out like the nozzel on a windex bottle. It wasn't completely clear either it had a slight tanish color to it. but it wasn't thick or too smelly. She is sensative about that area and stayed clear of me for the rest of the night. what do you think I should do now. express it again or just leave her alone. Jim

The last well check was just 2 months ago and they have been on a wormer maintenance dose since puppies.

Leave her alone for now and check her anal glands again in a 4 weeks or so. Pups rarely like to have their behinds messed with and especially their anal glands expressed.  Since I show my dogs and judges like to go over them, I start handling them all over very early.  They do get to where they will stand quietly and let you do things to them (they even will tolerate expressing anal glands).  What you described when you expressed your girl sounds very normal.  My guess is she will quit scooting.  However, it never hurts to also have her checked for worms as was said in the other post.

The first time you express anal glands in a pup is always the hardest.  You are learning and the pup has no idea what is going on.  She will get more used to it, but it may take a while. Also, give her a treat when you are done as a reward.
