Jun 07, 2024 Season 2 Episode 23

On today's podcast Dr. Robert and Dr. Sam tackle a stinky topic, anal glands. Anal glands (or anal sacs) are two small pouches located on either side of your dog or cat's anus at approximately the four o'clock and eight o'clock positions. The walls of the sac are lined with a large number of sebaceous (sweat) glands that produce a foul-smelling fluid. It is fairly common to see diseases associated with anal sacs in our pets. Take a listen to learn more!
 
Thanks for tuning in and as always, we take questions for upcoming podcasts at podcast@mybalto.com. We are happy to make an entire podcast about the topic or answer the question on a shorter segment, depending on the discussion! We video this podcast as well which you can join in on at myBalto's youtube channel
