Anal glands are really sensitive and easily 'bruised'. They could now be bothering him by feeling a bit tender. Having an odd feeling there makes his head say I must need a poo. Hopefully he will be feeling better tomorrow.

Who did it for him? Maybe if it is going to have to be a regular thing, learn to do it yourself and then you can be nice and gentle. Emptying anal glands cannot be rushed by squeezing hard.

lol, well it is quite easy. If it does become a recurrent problem then just ask if you need help. Vets will be happy to show you plus I am a seasoned pro, lol. But hopefully it was a one off Smile
