The anal glands of your Chihuahua are
located in the musculature of the anal ring, one on either side. Each
empties into the rectum via a small duct. Sometimes the secretion
becomes thick and accumulates and you can easily feel the bulges from the
outside.
If your Chihuahua is scooting across the
floor, dragging it's rear end or licking it's rear, the anal sacs may need
to be expressed.
Pressing in and up towards the anus, while
holding the tail is the best way to relieve it. Your vet can show you how to
do this.
