Does it smell when a dogs anal glands drain?
Yes it does. You should take your dog in to your Veterinarian to have the anal glands checked out and expressed too. You want to make sure they are not infected. The Vet can then show you how to express your own pet's anal glands yourself. Normally a dog will naturally express the anal glands on their own by just exercising but sometimes the older & fatter dogs that are in the house constantly will end up with blocked anal glands or draining glands that smell to high heaven. You need to learn how to express them yourself but first make sure there is not an infection present.
Express anal glands dachshund?
Expressing anal glands on a dog, especially when your not 100% certain how to do it, can result in perforating the anal sacs. Make a appointment with your vet who will do these for you. Usually you shouldn't need to express your dogs anal glands manually as the dog will generally do this on their own. Anal glands are expressed naturally when your dog has a bowel movement. If your dog has been scooting on the floor, biting their anus or if there is a rash or swelling of the anus then take your dog to the vet. A infection will not be erradicated by expressing glands manually...this only makes it more comfortable for the dog and does not treat the infection. Medication will be required.

Sounds like she needs her anal glands expressed. While you can learn to do this at home, it's beyond my capabilities to teach this in writing (it's also not a job for the weak of heart). Go to your vet and have your lab's glands expressed -- it's painful for her (and messy sometimes too).

What could be wrong with a dog when they are constantly itching their butt and how can you help it?
Do you mean your dog is 'scooting' or dragging their butt on the floor? This means his anal glands are full and he is trying to express them...so sooner or later, you will see a smelly streak on your floor. Basically, anal glands are filled with some sort of mucus and they need to be expressed, because if not, it can cause some serious harm and may become a big vet bill. Best thing to do is take him\her to the groomers and request to get his\her anal glands expressed or talk to your vet.
