Poor Willow has an anal gland infection and is booked in to see the vet, she is quite swollen but does not seem to be in any discomfort at the moment, she is doing a good impression of a baboon though.

Update on Willow, vets appointment was @ 16.50, I got home @ 16.00 checked straight away to see how she was and her anal gland seemed to be weeping so I got a bit of kitchen towel to check what was going on. As I did the gland burst so I managed to express all the gunk out of the gland.
Willow did not even bat an eyelid.

I took her to the vet, he examimed her to which she did not totally agree with, I held a treat to her nose while the vet went about his business. Willow had the attention to her treat taken away twice by the vet but on the third occasion she gave out a little yelp, looked at the vet in disgust then carried on trying to get the morsel I was holding in front of her.

The vet said that with the gland bursting the infection should clear up much easier, Willow had an anti-biotic/anti-inflamitory jab and a 10 day course of anti-biotic tablets which should clear up everything.

Whilst we were there I weighed her and she is 13.30kg (29.33lb) she is 15.5 inches high this is the lightest she has been since she was a pup no wonder that she is so fast on the agility course.
