I know this is about a Cocker spaniel and not a cavalier but as it’s about anal sacs I thought this would be the best place to ask, especially after typing ‘dogs +anal sacs filled with air’ in a search engine bought up the sort of site who pages I really don’t want to look at. :yikes
My brothers Cocker has just changed to James Welbeloved, which she loves but she started scooting. He took her to the vet who empted her out, all over her clothes (she hadn’t put her work overalls on yet:lol. It was mostly liquid but with some air.
Well a few days later she is still scooting so he takes her back. The vet checks her and says she feels full again, tries to empty them and this time just air comes out.
Well the same thing happen, so he takes her back to the vet, they empty out the air and afterwards she goes a toilet in the vets. It seems the air is stopping her emptying out her bowels as well. He has notice she not spending as long out in the garden as before but wasn’t concerned till now.
The vet has told him to feed her more bran in her diet and says if she has to come back she wants to put her out so she can do a more thorough examination.
The vet said she gets many Cockers in with anal sacs problems but she never had a dog come in anal sacs filled with air. The only connection they have is with change in the new food.
Has anyone come across this problem before?
