Question:

Hi-
I have two jack russels. One of them seems to "leek" out of her anal area. I have tried to read previously asked questions, yet could not find any that pertained to this issue. She does not "scoot" hear rear on the carpet. It most often happens when she is relaxed lying on top of me or my fiance. The smell is awful. It happens so often that when she does it, she goes and stands by the sink so we can wash her. My other jack russell will clean herself and there is not much of a problem. Is there a way to drain these glands yourself? Thanks.
