This can be a chronic problem with some dogs, especially dogs with inflammatory bowel disease or food Allergies. Discuss this with your vet. Treating the underlying cause may help the problem. In my dog's case, finding out that she had food allergies and removing the offending foods from her diet helped. In extreme cases, the glands can be surgically removed, although some people considered this cruel, as it leaves the dog with no individual smell for other dogs to sniff at that location. However, that is a small price to pay for the relief your dog might feel if he or she has chronically plugged or infected anal sacks. I have heard that probiotics can help, but I don't know what conventional veterinary medicine says about this. Hope this helps.
