Thank you for your help. It was an abcessed gland and he is now on an oral antibiotic for ten days and a topical one as well. He received a steroidal injection for inflammation and an oral painkiller and is now sleeping quietly. You guys nailed it on the head. Thanks again.
We have an appointment for the vet today. The area was swollen and erupted on its own. It all occurred within 24 hours. I can't believe how quickly it came to head. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all. I'll keep you posted.
I believe my dog's anal gland requires expressing. However, this being the day before Thanksgiving, I'm not sure if I will be able to get it expressed in the next 36 hours. Is this OK or should we go to the emergency vet?!

I have leather seats with no covers and have not had any problems with scratches or punctures. However, I still wish I had covered the seat because it gets dirty very quickly and if I make a sharp turn, my two pups have no traction and go sliding.
I am a bit confused about a recent development between my two boxers. A bit of back ground first. We have had Prince, our first boxer for 2.5 years. He is a neutered 3 y.o. male. We adopted Colors, a 7 y.o. neutered male, in January. Although we were expecting some acclimation and fighting...
I order Sentinel for both of my dogs over the internet. Actually, I usually get them from Australia. I have never had any problem or worries concerning this medication. They arrive in the original manufacturers packaging so I'm sure they haven't been tampered with and I'm getting exactly what...
