Hello,

I have an 8yr olod Male Akita (Thunder). He is in great health. Vet checked him out 4 ths ago as I noticed some discharge from anal gland region and my Newfies were sniffing him like crazy. She said all was well. A couple of times since than he has whimpered/cried when pooping. I have added some fiber to his diet to see if that will help. Anybody have any other suggestions?

Should I be considered bringing him to the vet right away?

Thanks...Ken

Sounds like he may need his anal glands expressed. The vets can do this as can some groomers. If he needs it done regularly then you could have the vet teach you how to do it but it is a disgusting, smelly task :yuck:.
