I'm not sure this would make a good wikibook entry, but I've removed this how-to from the article:
- ===Emptying a dog's anal glands===
- First, prepare a warm moist wash cloth or towel. Raise the dog's tail and locate the anal glands. The glands should be at approximately 5 o'clock and seven o'clock positions in relation to the anal circumference. You will feel the glands as small firm nodules in the perianal area. Place the cloth over the area. Position your thumb on one gland and index finger on the opposite gland.
By pressing in and squeezing your fingers toward each other, the glands should empty. Wipe the area clean with the cloth. Repeat if necessary. If the discharge is bloody or purulent in appearance there is probably an anal gland infection - treat as described below. -- Ec5618 15:24, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

- I was at the vet today and my dog emptied his anal glands. God does that smell. The examination room couldn't be used for almost an hour. It is probably best to empty a dog's anal glands outside. JSTR 19:37, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- Your dog emptied the vet's anal glands? Respect! Would he do mine...?
