Blister with blackish/brown discharge on my dog near her butt... PLEASE HELP!!! ?

Question

I have a 8 year old chihuahua mix that has a blister with a blackish/brown discharge on my dog near her butt. Earlier today it was a red swollen bump and now its larger and has a blackish/brown discharge when I touched it, it popped. It is still big and swollen and looks like there is more discharge. I don't know what it is, PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Answer 1

She probably has an infected anal gland.  Wash it with mild (very mild) soap and lukewarm water and dry with a very soft paper towel.  Take her to the vet tomorrow and he will have a look.  He will probably give some antibiotics and try to express the glands to make her comfortable.

She will be o.k. just keep her quiet and put something clean over her bed for tonight so she won't soil her bedding.

Answer 2

try getting her anal glands squeezed by a groomer and see if that helps

good luck

Answer 3

What are you doing here?! Go to the vet, discharge is never good unless it is expected. Go NOW!!

Answer 4

My french Mastiff had something like this and it ended up that he had hemmeroids and had to have surgery. I would get to he vet asap because it was very painful for my dog.

Answer 5

I would call a vet and ask, if none are open in your area at this time then call a 24/7 emergency vet and ask them if it is normal or if it needs to be looked at.  But make sure that they tell you it is urgent before you take her to a 24/7 vet.  They're alot more expensive than normal vets.  If they tell you its not an emergency I would make an appointment tomorrow with your normal vet. She'll get better care, it will be less expensive and you won't have to wait for hours.

Good Luck!
