My dog's rectum is always itchy and swollen why?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most likely it's an infected anal gland on the swollen side of the anus. A google search on "Dogs Anal Glands" should lead you to plenty of information. In all likelyhood, you'll want to get it to the vet so that they can "express" the impacted gland and give the pet topical and oral antibiotics afterward.

Why does a rectum smell?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bowel movements smell because while the food is mixed together it also has acids and digestive juices added. Types of foods plus the breakdown of the foods causes it to have an odor. Urine smells because of the same digestive process, plus because the body filtrates toxins from the blood into the urine. It is believed that in cave man days, these odors prevented humans from eating or drinking their own wastes (which can cause illness), just like with vomitus. However, many animals do return to eat their own waste and vomit, for example, canines.
