    If your girl is licking her stuff and not her butt, I would suggest helping her clean which will allow you to inspect.

    When I would bathe my girl basenji, I would have her all wrapped up and drying off in my lap. I would use a warm wash cloth and wipe around her stuff down there. She always had dirt caked to her area and I always thought it was better to help her clean it than her get an infection.

    I never had a problem doing this stuff with my dogs because I consider myself the mom. No one else is going to do it. Mom dogs will lick the puppy butts to encourage going to the bathroom etc.

    My girl never fussed about it.

    Anal gland expression is cheap and the best money ever spent. Make sure you ask the vet to do it and not a tech or groomer. Ask for the inside expression not the external expression. They are going to charge you either way. Once every 6 months is normal. Cairo started expressing his anal glands right around 5 months. Caesar is a repeat offender and goes every month. I had Cairo's expressed while we were there. The vet said Caesar was olives and Cairo was lima beans.

    Once you have cleaned her (no soap, just warm water) and expressed those glands…see if it continues....it could be a UTI, a bug bite from sitting or a scratched anus from scooting if you see that.....

    Caesar and Cairo….the boys

    Jackers went thru this a few weeks ago, and he gave himself a rash because of it. Now hes on allergy meds and a topical spray for his groin area. It made the rash and inflamed area go away, but i have to watch him now. i let him clean himself to a point, but REALLY, and HOUR Jack!!?? I dont think so…lol

    They were just wrestling and I was taking pictures and that picture came out. He did not do anything inappropriate, it's humans who interject what’s inappropriate in a dog’s world. They're just being dogs.

    No locker room humor, please :) There is a time and a place, but I am pretty sure it isn't here….

    I'm all for a laugh or two, but that was over the top. I concur.:mad:

    no, no…Barkless....go back thru the other posts. The comments weren't about your photo (very cute)...it was about a comment regarding licking one's own private parts...

    I am sorry if I gave the impression my 'hand slap' was towards your photo…not at all. No need to remove it!!! I think if you go back thru the thread you will realize I just used what you said to play off of a prior post...sorry about the confusion.

    On feeding, when I had multiple dogs I always did the same as Zande, all dogs fed at the same time, although not always the same place. When the weather was nice I sometimes fed outside. But wherever, I sat and supervised until everyone was finished. I had one who would try to poach if not watched, but she knew better than to make a move with me sitting there. Never had a serious fight with any of mine, and never a disagreement over food, but a breeder I know had to permanently separate two bitches who hated each other and would fight instantly if they had the opportunity....the cause of their dislike had nothing to do with food and everything to do with one bitch interfering with the other one's pups.

    The other kind of guarding - for things that he gets by accident - that still continues, but less and less, although I don't trust him fully. He has been trained to go in his crate very willingly because he always gets a treat when he does. If he has something I don't want him to have I tell him to "get in your crate!" which almost always works the first time. He gets his treat, I close the crate, and then I clean up the mess without any worry. For our dog, if it's something like a cookie or pizza, nothing will stop him from devoring it.

    Thanks for the info! Yes we just got over the rain for the most part,,,,,,,thank goodness! What part of Maryland are you from? My aunt lives in Cumberland and the last time we were there we went to Rahobath beach (not sure of the spelling). We had a great time except for the DC traffic – we here in Southeastern Ohio are NOT use to that type of traffic! It was funny once my cousin (from Cumberland) came in town for a visit and we were going down one of our main drags on a Sat. morning and I said "Man,,I cant believe this traffic,,,,,its awful!" and she laughed and said I didnt know what traffic was! Well ,,,,,,,,,she was right,,,,,,,I couldnt imagine dealing with the DC traffic every day. About the furbabies though,,,,,,,they seem to be getting familiar with each other. Only a few minor scuffles today over a rawhide I forgot to get out of the backyard . Also, the marking has seemed to end-- we were a little worried. Lastly, the eating in there crates thing has worked out except our Bella (1st BRAT dog) has been dealing with some seperation issues again after we left her for the weekend to drive to Missouri to get Wrigley. Anyway, hopefully we will be one big happy family! One last thing, kudos to you and your wife for fostering so many dogs. My husband and I are considering volunteering for BRAT after this spring. My son is a senior and I am afraid as we get closer to the spring things will get crazy around here with all of his senior stuff.
