First clean your Teddy’s anus with warm water to make the skin softer and also to relax the Teddy, usually in this case the anal glands are easier to clean.
Squeeze and clean the anal glands by first holding the root of the teddy’s tail with your left hand to expose the anal opening.
Hold the toilet paper in your right hand, stick it directly to the anal opening of your Teddy, press the anal glands at the 4 and 8 o’clock area with your right thumb and index finger, squeeze them inward and then rub and pull them outward, and the anal gland fluid will be discharged. After repeatedly squeezing several times, the anal gland fluid can be emptied.
Do not use excessive force when squeezing the anal glands of your Teddy to prevent damage to the anal glands and inflammation. It is especially important to note that Teddy’s long-term soft stool is likely to cause the anal glands to accumulate fluid and block, so the cleaning cycle for the anal glands should be relatively short.
If your Teddy has anal bursitis, he will recover once a week for three weeks.
