WE've talked about this before but we have so many new folks I thought I'd ask

[rkunsaw]

Just to see their answers.

Have you ever eaten anything containing beavers anal glands?

 

[Old Hipster]

Jeezus Mister, way to make me almost spew coffee onto my key-board. (and I am at work)

Nope, not that I know of and I'll take it a step further, I think I can safely say I have never eaten ANYTHING with any animal's anal sacs as part of the ingredients.

Is that something you folks in the south eat with collard greens ?! layful:

 

[CeeCee]

I know this one ...I read a lot of weird articles, lol

you can't think about these things when you're eating though ....

Ok I'm still good. No Beaver anal glands in my ice cream! I only eat ice cream that is cream, milk, vanilla and sugar, or some other flavor that is just what it says. So unless I buy Anal Sac flavored ice cream, I'm not worrying.

 

[CeeCee]

Lol, I always thought natural flavorings were a good thing...those sneaky food companies!!

 

[SeaBreeze]

That's a negative here Rkunsaw.

 

[Vivjen]

And here, thank goodness,and I am not that keen on ice-cream!

 

[rkunsaw]

Cadbury eggs are one thing that comes to mind and many products that say Natural flavor..Beaver anal glands are in more things than you would expect.

..Beaver anal glands are in more things than you would expect.

That's because they're so busy!

My dog thinks my carpet is for expressing his anal glands. YUCK. Out comes the stain remover.

Maybe you need the Bullseye Pee Pads, as seen on TV!

Well, not you per se ... I mean, your dog.

It's liquid beaver anal gland, too - not solid! Those French know how to live! nthego:

 

[Pappy]

Yep, it's true....

 

[Old Hipster]

So where are they getting all of those beavers that they are getting the anal glands from?

I know a lot about anal glands, our Scottie dog had to have her's removed, but we didn't think to make anything out of them. Maybe we could have made butterscotch ice cream.

Pickles has never done that! His butt looks okay to me but he is due for a Beauty treatment and I was going to have them do that too..if needed.

Why did she have them removed?

 

[Pappy]

When we had our dog, the vet showed the wife and I how to squeeze out the anal glands. When we got back into the car, I looked at the wife and she looked at me and we said at the same time....no way are we doing this.....

 

[CeeCee]

Lol, I know what you mean...I have heard some horror stories about it. It's not something I care to do.

One of them got infected one time and ruptured, so the Vet said she needed them out. It is a pretty common operation.

And yeah Pappy we never wanted to express them oveselves either. Ewww.....

Little dogs are prone to the problem more than larger dogs.

 

[CeeCee]

My dog is little. Why aren't they just removed when they are little? What do tney need them for?

 

[SifuPhil]

Maybe because Nature put them there?

Little dogs seem to be subject to many afflictions, don't they? Much more so than the big ones. Psychological problems as well ...

I'll say this - anyone tries to express MY anal glands, I'd better be getting dinner and a movie first.

It's not something to do for no reason. They work when a dog poops and sometimes they don't work correctly and get clogged up.
I'm sure google can give you all the info you need about anal glands.

Human's don't have anal glands. ( that probably applies in your case as well) layful:

Well this tread is making me gag. I may never eat ice cream again.
