Good tip! Any thing to be done for her,Randall?

MIne was having the same problem but now she is on Rx food from the vet. It's high in fiber, keeps her from needing her anal glands expressed and she hasn't been gaining weight over the winter due to inactivity.
Just this weekend I had to whip out the scissors and trim her a**hole hair up due to a "clumping" issue. Vet says to keep it up or the problem could come up again.

Any thread that can chase off Clyde is alright by me. :-)

Not really, other than to get it expressed every month or so. It is evolutionary and I think the food will make no difference. Certain dogs have different issues with their anal glands....If they get infected you are looking at expensive surgery.

She is an Austrailian Kelpie. Her name is Belmont.

Almost identical looking to this. I adore her.
