I know, yucky subject. But I'm wondering if I need to take Toby in to the vet to get his expressed. What are the typical symptoms indicating that they need to be done?
He's not licking or butt-scooting, his potty habits and poops are normal, and he doesn't give any indication that he's uncomfortable or anything. But he's smellier than usual, and it's not dog-fart or poopy-type stinky, not bad breath, nor is it that funky/musty smell he sometimes gets in his fur after romping in the muddy puddles at the park. And it's definitely coming from his rear (stinky end, not pointy end) but has noting to do with flatulence. I'm not really sure how to describe the smell. It's not pleasant. After I drove the dogs to daycare this morning, my car was absolutely toxic.
Advise?
