My dog came back from the groomers with what appears to be a bite or cut. He is shaking, dragging his but on the ground and acting odd. What could be wrong with him?

    His anal glands could be blocked.YOU can express them yourself or take along to the vet and get him/her to express them.

    Where is the bite or cut? It sounds like the groomer nicked the dog on the anus with either scissors or clippers. When you groom a dog around their anus they often pucker their butt all of a sudden, if the groom isn't careful, they will irritate a very sensitive part!!!!

    Oops.. just realized this is an old post. Oh well! More information for others.

    It could be that the groomers expressed his anal glands and he is not used to it. This may have cause it him discomfort. Or them could be empacted.

    I regularly express my dogs glands when bathing them. It only takes about 30 seconds, eliminates a vet visit and possible impacted/infected glands. (everything is done externally - so no you do not have to stick anything in "there."
    It is easy to learn. you can look up the instructions online or have a vet show you how.

    We did end up having one dogs glands removed surgically as she was constantly scotching and them got empacted regularly, even with me expressing them once a week.

    i think your dog may have been violently raped by another dog when the groomers were outside having coffee and a smoke.
