Paraanal glands belong to special group of skin glands for reproduction of grease or stalemate secrets. A secret is rather odorous and is necessary for scaring away of enemies or attraction of individuals of an opposite sex.
The first symptoms of a disease

Initially there is a violation of natural outflow of a secret from an anal sine that leads to its overflow. During this period the animal looks quite healthy, only from time to time can uneasily lick a tail.
The second stage of a disease
Secret begins to get denser then and is flocculated. The dog can strange behave and go on a floor by buttocks. This symptom can confuse owners. So dogs behave when there are worms. At a zadevaniye of a tail or hinder legs, the pet can feel pain. A secret is in addition absorbed in blood that causes a severe itch on all body. The dog begins to scratch, lick anal pass impetuously.
Emergence of pus
The next period is the heaviest. In paraanal glands microorganisms begin to breed, there is a pus, glands and nearby fabrics inflame. If pus does not come out in natural ways, then there is abscess which breaks outside near an anus after maturing. During defecation the dog feels severe pain. Even to lie and go becomes intolerably.
Causes of illness

Weak immunity, bad heredity, frequent locks or a loose stool - all this too the reasons of inflammation of paraanal glands. External or internal injuries, stings, improper feeding, lack of due hygiene can provoke a disease. Owners most often notice an illness when abscess already broke, and pus came to light.
