Forgot my friends were going out and I want to go out. It's been YEARS!!
Also I wiped up some jelly stuff that I thought was dog food but the dogs wouldn't eat and gave it a good sniff. Yep. It was dog bum mucus.

And for the fucking umpteenth time this week DH had used something up and not bothered to replace it!!

I'm assuming it's the dogs anal glands? The fish smell 😷

DerelictWreck · 26/01/2018 22:25

Yeah I have dogs and this is not a thing! Not in healthy dogs with their anal glands taken care of! Be grossed out OP!

Yikes! Your dog needs the vet.

Dog bum mucus?

Hilarious, it’s going to be my new catchphrase for 2018 Grin

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 26/01/2018 22:29

Haha, love "dog bum mucus"! I'm a vet and I feel (smell?) your pain. But you kniw, anal glands happen. And they're still worth it. What's a little bum mucus between best friends? People are still worse!

"On a serious note, does the dogs anal glands need looking emptying?"

Is this sentence dialect or is there a typo?

MiddleClassProblem · 26/01/2018 22:42

How dare someone think of two sentences that mean the same thing and accidentally type a combination!

Gruel...

This thread has been interesting. Im glad I dont have a dog

I have two dogs, a labrador and a cocker spaniel who are 13 and 12.

In all of their years, I am thankful that neither has ever given me dog bum mucus to clear up. Plenty of shit and sometimes puke, but not this.

I too would guess at anal glands needing attention (by a vet).

Whiterabbitears · 27/01/2018 00:46

May I ask how you know its dog bum mucus? I'm weirdly interested in how you discovered it?

TournesolsetLavande · 27/01/2018 05:48

I have two dogs of advancing years too. I've seen huge globs of slimy dog bum mucus on occasion, wrapped around a poo (it definitely comes from their rectum and not their anal glands) but I have never needed to empty their anal glands or seen anything emerging from them, smelly or otherwise.

How do you know if/when this needs doing? Some people talk about it as if it's a regular and perfectly normal thing, like needing their nails cut or de-worming. Confused

One of the dogs is very prone to full glands. He's pays them lots of attention when they are full and so out come my rubber gloves :/ he doesn't need the vet. Sometimes he does slimy poos. Always has.

Some dogs just have better functioning glands than others.

In a house with two kids and two dogs I should know better than to sniff!!

OMG anal glands are the work of the devil - having had a huge sniff I am amazed you are still alive. Did you puke?

Amazingly I didn't!! It did linger in my nostrils for some time though...

Just bobbing on to say our dog also has the dog bum mucus from time to time and the weird slime poo too 🤮

Grin dog ownership is whole level of grim isn't it?

I suspect it was the butternut squash that fell in the floor that he stole

Two kids and two dogs is exactly why you do have to sniff!
