anal sac impaction

**Anal Sac Impaction** refers to a common condition in dogs and cats where the anal glands, located on either side of the anus, become clogged or blocked. This can cause discomfort, scooting, licking, or swelling near the rear end of the pet. If untreated, it may lead to infection or abscess formation. Timely veterinary care and regular anal gland expression can help manage and prevent anal sac impaction.
