Funny Dog Stuff

[Rooster]

So, I'm researching some dog stuff ... and I find this gem:

"Scooting" or dragging the bottom

Q: My neighor's older black lab is scraping his bottom HARD on a blacktop road. I say it might be worms. She says let it go because there are sacs that she is breaking open. What to do?

A: We see three common causes of "scooting" or dragging the bottom along rough surfaces.

(blah blah blah) Some great info on the behavior of the dog and possible causes

Check out the closing paragraph, from a Vet that obviously has a great sense of humor ...

If my dog was dragging his butt on a surface as rough as a paved road, I think I'd want to provide some relief immediately. Therefore, I think your friend should consider at trip to her dog's vet for a diagnosis and for treatment of this problem.

Plugged anal glands. The vet offered to show me how to "pop" them myself on our lab but as I told her there are somethings I'm willing to pay someone to do :laugh:

"Plugged anal glands". Nice... :ohmy:

LOL, yeah, so anyway, I posted that for the comedic value of the vets closing paragraph .... oh, well, guess you had to be there!

I got the comedic value of it :) I also found it amusing as the vet has her hand up my dogs backside offering to show me how so I don't have to pay her to do it, and I tell her somethings are better handled by professionals :laugh:

LMAO, Roost!

Reminds me of ol' Tater Salad talking about taking his dog to the vet when he put him out to stud. The vet says "I can teach you how to do this at home"

Ron White: "I don't think so. He follows me around enough as it is."

ahhh, yes...the old anal sacs. thank god we as humans don't have those, because the stuff that comes out of them STINKS! Cats have them too. What the heck is supposed to be the purpose of that, anyway?
