Question
My bulldog, Bubba, 1-1/2 years old has problem like something is irritating his rectal area.  He will jump and run off.  He will try to push against something.  Sits and licks out his tongue.  I had his anal glands drained three days ago, but problem started afterward.  He had some problem prior.

Answer
Revised Answer-  Talk to the vet about this problem .... Tell your vet you are going to add some Good Quality Fiber to your bubba's diet.
Also, you may want to try some salmon oil - pure salmon oil can help...
You can find Salmon oil at most Pet stores:
Contact me for more info on Vitamins and supplements...
Ask the Pet Nurse

Thanks for your Question!

Merry, this can be a common problem.  Did the vet do the anal gland cleaning or a groomer?  He could have irritation or possible infection in that area....  You may want to have a vet check on the area...
I can help with some good foods and supplements!  Proper fiber supplements or good food will do the trick.
What your you feeding this kid?  ( flavor and brand:)

get back to me ...
thanks
