Guest Scouts_mom Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 My 13 yr old princess, Tia, visited her vet today because she had been licking and licking her rear end. It turns out she has a mild infection in one of her anal glands so now she is on antibiotics. She is thrilled as it means yummy pill pockets twice a day! But this got me to thinking. I have only heard about anal glands with dogs. Do cats have them? What about people? We're all mammals so it seams likely that we all have similar glands.

Burpdog Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Good question. I don't have an answer. Perhaps someone knows! Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dillymom Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 We don't have them. They are found in almost all animals in the order carnivora which includes wolves, dogs, cats, raccoons, bears, weasels, hyaenas, seals, and walruses Sea otters and bears don't have anal glands.
