Disease of the anal sac is a common reason for presentation of dogs (and less commonly cats) to the veterinary surgeon. They are often just emptied by a veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse, but this does not always lead to resolution of clinical signs. An understanding of the diseases affecting the anal sacs and possible treatment options can increase the likelihood of a positive outcome.
