BOXER W/ ANAL SWELLING

19 15:48:27

Question
I noticed last night my 5 year old Boxer (male, not neutered) was rubbing his rear end on floor. 1st I thought he may have worms, but today it (anus) is very swollen. He did go to bathroom, but seemed very loose, did not notice anything in it. Also, seemed to have a little blood on swollen are.

Answer
Hi Amanda,
It is probably his anal sacs are impacted, the vet should be your option. The vet can relieve this and show you how to help him and what to do if this is what is wrong with him.
