ANAL GLANDS FUNCTIONING

Every dog has two anal glands or sacs which are occasionally refereed to as "scent glands", because they enable the dog to mark its territory. The anal sacs are normally emptied by rectal pressure during defecation. The secretion from the anal glands is a brownish liquid, although is can become thick, yellowish or creamy looking. The anal sacs can also be emptied by contraction of the anal sphincter. This involuntary contraction can be due to the dog being upset, frightened or under pressure, or the contractions can be triggered by the dog to leave its mark upon territory. When the anal glands fail to empty normally, the result can be impaction which is most common in small breeds, but can occur in any dog. Among the causes of anal gland impaction are : soft stools, small anal gland openings and overactive anal glands. The anal gland secretions become thick and pasty.

TRIMMING YOUR GUINEA PIG'S NAILS

The most difficult part of doing nail trims is probably holding the guinea pig still. You can do it successfully with patience and practice as your guinea pig will likely get less squirmy over time. It is best to have a helper to hold your guinea pig so you can trim the nails.

Nails should be trimmed at least once a month, although you can do them even more often that that if you choose. Although nail clipping may be difficult at first, the more often you do it the more comfortable it will become for you and your guinea pig. The longer the nails get, the harder they will be to trim. As the nails get longer the blood vessel gets longer too, and the nails will start to curl. Regular nail clipping helps keep the nails in good shape.
